The old time Christians reconciled them all. They were all true accounts, from different observers.
But other than Christ, the only possible witness who as a tax collector likely spoke Aramaic, Hebrew and Latin was Matthew.
And then years later told a Greek scribe the story.
The exact Greek words recorded are not essential but the truth is essential,
The truth was, Pilate reluctantly enforced the death penalty the Sanhedrin imposed on Christ.
Pilate ruled Christ had broken no Roman laws.
Jews then and today still await the Messiah.
The Sanhedrin condemned Christ for heresy.
