CONTRADICTIONS IN CRUCIFICTION STORY:

The different accounts of the resurrection are full of contradictions like this. They can’t even agree on
whether Jesus was crucified on the day before Passover (John) or the day after (the other three).

What were the last words of Jesus? Three gospels give three different versions.

Who buried Jesus? Matthew says that it was Joseph of Arimathea. No, apparently it was the Jews and
their rulers, all strangers to Jesus (Acts).

How many women came to the tomb Easter morning? Was it one, as told in John? Two (Matthew)?
Three (Mark)? Or more (Luke)?

Did an angel cause a great earthquake that rolled back the stone in front of the tomb? Yes, according to
Matthew. The other gospels are silent on this extraordinary detail.

Who did the women see at the tomb? One person (Matthew and Mark) or two (Luke and John)?

Was the tomb already open when they got there? Matthew says no; the other three say yes.

Did the women tell the disciples? Matthew and Luke make clear that they did so immediately. But Mark
says, “Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to
anyone, because they were afraid.” And that’s where the book ends, which makes it a mystery how Mark
thinks that the resurrection story ever got out.

Did Mary Magdalene cry at the tomb? That makes sense—the tomb was empty and Jesus’s body was
gone. At least, that’s the story according to John. But wait a minute—in Matthew’s account, the women
were “filled with joy.”

Did Mary Magdalene recognize Jesus? Of course! She’d known him for years. At least, Matthew says that
she did. But John and Luke make clear that she didn’t.

Could Jesus’s followers touch him? John says no; the other gospels say yes.

Where did Jesus tell the disciples to meet him? In Galilee (Matthew and Mark) or Jerusalem (Luke and
Acts)?

Who saw Jesus resurrected? Paul says that a group of over 500 people saw him (1 Cor. 15:6). Sounds like
crucial evidence, but why don’t any of the gospels record it?

Should the gospel be preached to everyone? In Matthew 28:19, Jesus says to “teach all nations.” But
hold on—in the same book he says, “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans”
(Matt. 10:5). Which is it?

Various contradictions in the four Gospels about the claim of the Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) so-called
crucifixion

The Christian belief is based on the belief that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was crucified and killed on the
cross and he will then be resurrected. However, as it is revealed in the Qur’an, the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)
was not crucified, therefore not killed, and on the contrary he was raised to the sky while still alive and
taken to the Sight of God to be sent back to earth again in the End Times. (You can read our explanations
about the subject from here.) The reason for the Christian community to defend the belief that the
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was crucified is some chapters in the Gospel. However, the statements written in
the chapters in question are, as we have stated before, contradictory statements, which were added to
the Bible in the 3rd century after the Prophet Jesus (pbuh).

Some of these contradictory statements about out subject are as follows:

Contradictory statements in the Gospel about the Prophet Jesus’ (pbuh) so-called crucifixion

Who carried the cross?

There are statements that the cross was carried by Simon from Cyrene in Mark 15:21, Matthew 27:32
and Luke 23:26:

As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the
cross. (Matthew 27:32)

In the Gospel of John, it is stated that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) carries the cross:
Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). (John
19:17)

The crucified robbers:

It is told in the sections of Mark 15:27-28, Matthew 27:44 and Luke 23:39-42 that Jesus was supposedly
crucifed along with two robbers. The contradiction here is that the Romans never crucify robbers. 1

They crucified two robbers with him, one on his right and one on his left. (Mark 15:27-28)

In the same way the robbers who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him. (Matthew 27:44)

Contradictory information about the time of the Prophet Jesus’ (pbuh) crucifixion:

In the passages in Gospels of Matthew 27:45-36, Luke 23:44-46 and John 19:14-15, a time from twelve
to three o’clock is indicated as the so-called time of the Prophet Jesus’ (pbuh) crucifixion, whereas in
Mark 15:25 this time is told to be nine o’clock.

It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, for the sun
stopped shining.And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, "My
Lord, into Your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last. (Luke 23:44-46)

It was the third hour when they crucified him.(Mark 15:25)

The so-called last word the Prophet Jesus (pbuh):

There is contradictory information in the four Bibles about the last words of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)
during his so-called crucifixion. In the passages of Mark 1 5:34-37 and Matthew 27:46:50, it is stated that
the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) called out this:

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My
God, my God, why have You forsaken me? [God is beyond that.]"(Mark 15:34)

In the Gospel of Luke, the so-called last words of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is stated differently:

Jesus called out with a loud voice, "God, into Your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he
breathed his last. (Luke 23:46)

In the Gospel of John, the statements about this subject are completely different:

When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up
his spirit. (John 19:30)

The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) supposedly drinking wine or vinegar?

In the passages, which claim that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was supposedly crucified, it is mentioned that
he was made to drink something before being cruicified, however while this drink is defined as wine in
the Gospel of Mark, it is defined as vinegar in the Gospels of Matthew, Luke and John:

According to the Gospel of Mark, the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is made to drink wine:
Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. (Mark 15:23)

According to the Gospels of Matthew, Luke and John, the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is made to drink vinegar:

Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and
offered it to Jesus to drink. (Matthew 27:48)

The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar and said, "If you are the king
of the Jews, save yourself." (Luke 23:36-37)

A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop
plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips.When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he
bowed his head and gave up his spirit. (John 19:29-30)

The earthquake during the so-called burial of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh):

This explanation is in the Gospel of Matthew:

At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the
rocks split. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to
many people. (Matthew 27:51-53)

In the Gospels of Mark, Luke and John, there are several definitions being made with respect to the so-
called burial of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh), however an incident of an earthquake, which is impossible to
forget given that it actually took place, is never mentioned.
Events that took place following the so-called burial of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh):

Events, which are claimed to take place following the so-called burial of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) are
explained differently in the four Gospels:

At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the
rocks split.The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to
many people. (Matthew 27:51-53)

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they
entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were
alarmed. (Mark 16:4-5)

They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body
of ...Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like
lightning stood beside them. (Luke 24:2-4)

So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran
Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not
go in. Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen
lying there, as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus' head. The cloth was folded up by
itself, separate from the linen. (John 20:3-8)
