Let me give you 2 verses for example:

John 5:31

KJV - If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

John 8:14

KJV - Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

The KJV does NOT contradict itself. Therefore Jesus did NOT contradict Himself.

Now let's look closely on modern versions on 2 verses:

John 5:31

NIV - If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid

NKJV - If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true

NASB - If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not true

John 8:14

NIV - 14Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going

NKJV - Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going

NASB - Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

You see how these modern versions contradicted themselves. Therefore Jesus contradicted Himself.
