There are four "official" gospels, seven more "unofficial" books, and somewhere north of 50 different written accounts that survive from the period.
It's helpful to read these as perspectives rather than definitives. Imagine showing up at a funeral and every attendee has his or her own story about the deceased. Just because the stories seem to contradict one another, I would not think that means the individual they're recounting was duplicitous.
