Your question, Was Jesus crucified in the third hour or the sixth hour? Mark 15:25 (cf. John 19:14) Whenever you seek answers to the events described in the gospel, it’s important to remember that each writer was recounting the same events but not providing every detail. Therefore, you must examine all the writings to gain a comprehensive understanding of the event. You must understand that the Hebrews recognized the 24 hour day starting at 6 pm to 6 pm the following day. It is written that Christ went to the cross during the daylight hours. This would start at 6am. So 6 am is the first hour of day light. It is written in Mark that Christ went to the cross on the third hour of the day. Making it 9am. It further says darkness covered the area at the 6 hour making it 12pm or noon as we call it. It further states that on the ninety hour Christ died, making it 3pm. It’s important the when you read the gospels you must look into them all. Mark 15:25 “And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.” Mark 15:33 “And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.” Mark 15:34 “And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.” This is the account of the crucifixion of Christ as told by Mark.
