There are a number of contradictions, but most of these can be harmonised.
For instance, in Matthew, Jesus' last words are "my god, my god, why have you forsaken me?". In Luke, they are "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit". In John, they are "It is finished."
People defending biblical innerancy argue that Jesus actually said all of these things, but each gospel writer ignored the bits that the other gospel writers caught. It is likely that things like the above are contradictions and sometimes the gospels can be wrong, but in terms of Aristotolean logic, these are not strictly "contradictions"
There are some other cases when The Bible does contradict itself directly, but these are less common. For instance, in the synoptic gospels, Jesus dies after the first day of passover. In John's gospel, he dies on the day of preparation for the passover. All contemporary scholars accept that John is not correct, but has claimed that date to draw parallels between Jesus and the sacrificing of a passover lamb.
