There is a book by J.J. Blunt, named ''Undesigned Coincidences", which demonstrates that the Bible is internally reliable and can therefore be trusted. This book is old enough to be free on a pdf and I'll put a link right here. Undesigned Coincidences . However, I have noticed in our publication, " A Book for all people'', printed by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, it contains the same line of reasoning. So this would be taken from our Brochure.

At times, detailed explanations are omitted from one account but are provided from else were by statements made by in passing. For instance, Matthews account of the trial of Jesus before the Jewish Sanhedrin says that some people present "slapped him in the face, saying:
' Prophecy to us, you Christ. Who is it that struck you? ' " (Matt.26:67,68) Why would the ask Jesus to '' Prophecy who had struck Him, When the striker was standing there right in from of Him? Matthew does not explain. But two of the other Gospel writers explain the missing detail, Jesus' persecutors covered His face before he was slapped.( Mark.14:65) (Luke.22:64) Matthew presents his material without concern as to whether as every last detail was supplied.
(Matt.26:67,68) Then they spat in his face and hit him with their fists. Others slapped him on the face, saying: “Prophesy to us, you Christ. Who struck you?”
Why did they ask Jesus who hit him? Matthew does not explain. But two of the other Gospel writers explain the missing detail.

(Mark.14:65) And some started to spit on him and to cover his face and hit him with their fists and say to him: “Prophesy!” And slapping him in the face, the court attendants took him.
(Luke.22:64) and after covering his face, they kept asking: “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?”

The Gospel of john tells of an occasion when a large crowd gathered to hear Jesus teach according to the record, when Jesus observed the crowd, " he said to fill up: ' Where shall we buy loaves for these to eat ' " (John.6:5) Of all the disciples present , why did Jesus ask Philip to buy some bread? The writer did not say. In the parallel account,though Luke reports the incident took place near Bethsaida, a city of the north shore of Galilee, and earlier in johns Gospel it says that "Phillip was from Bethsaida. " (John.1:44) (Luke.9:10) So Jesus logically asked a person whose home town was nearby. The agreement between the details was remarkable, yet clearly unwitting.
(John.6:5) When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, he said to Philip: “Where will we buy bread for these people to eat?”
(John.1:44) Now Philip was from Beth·saʹi·da, from the city of Andrew and Peter.
(Luke.9:10) When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus all they had done.With that he took them along and withdrew privately into a city called Beth·saʹi·da.
remember (John.6:5) and (Luke.9:10) are parallel accounts (John.1:44) explains unintentionally why Jesus asked Phillip where to buy bread.
