The gospels seem to contradict about who carried Jesus’ cross, which critics seize upon.

Seeming contradiction:

Did Jesus bear his own cross?
(a) Yes (John 19:17)
(b) No (Matthew 27:31-32)
 

THE PROBLEM

Who carried the crossbeam or pole?

·         Matthew 27:32 – Simon

          Mark 15:21 – Simon

·         Luke 23:26 – Simon

·         John 19:17 – Jesus

THE EXPLANATION

These divergent details, rather than being contradictions, actually are complimentary, and give powerful evidence the gospel writers are telling the truth, rather than copying from a single fictional account, or writing new fiction, in which the details are harmonized, or smoothed out. read more

    THE INSCRIPTION AT THE CROSS - THE TRUTH STANDS FOREVER   What was the exact wording on the sign above Jesus’ head while he was being publicly executed? Do the four gospels contradict?

Alleged contradiction:

What was the exact wording on the cross?
(a) “This is Jesus the King of the Jews” (Matthew 27:37)
(b) “The King of the Jews” (Mark 15:26)
(c) “This is the King of the Jews” (Luke 23:38)
(d) “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews” (John 19:19)

This accusation assumes that each gospel writer was required to be exactly precise in his reporting.

A second key point to keep in mind, however, is that all four gospel writers report in agreement that the sign had the words, “The king of the Jews”, at a minimum. read more
