Jesus is crucified at Golgotha
The three synoptic Gospels tell us that darkness occurred from the sixth hour to the ninth. (Matthew 27:45, Mark 15:33, Luke 23:44). To understand these references, it may be helpful to compare Matthew 20:1-12 where some day laborers were hired early in the morning, others at the third hour (around 9 a.m.), the sixth hour (noon), the ninth hour (3 p.m.) and the eleventh hour (5 p.m.), and those hired at the eleventh hour are said to have worked only one hour when paid in the evening, shortly after 6 p.m.. This makes the hours understandable, but we are still left with a problem because John 19:14 says it was “about the sixth hour” when Pilate told the Jews, “Behold, your King!” and Mark 15:25 says it was “the third hour” when Jesus was crucified.
