This common question ultimately depends on what you mean by contradictions. If you mean bits that cannot be in any way reconciled with others and still remain true, then no. If by ‘contradictions’ you mean two different versions of events that might require a bit of synthesis but can nevertheless be properly reconciled, then yes. It seems obvious enough with four different accounts we will get different versions.
Here is Dr Peter Williams speaking about how we can acknowledge there are, indeed, different accounts of Jesus life, and there is no problem in acknowledging clear and evident differences in them, without conceding that any of these differences render any of the other accounts untrue. Rather than being a problem for us, these differences are not only reconcilable, but good evidence the accounts themselves are true.
