得窥天境

得窥天境,须看透红尘万丈;人神相通,只凭借灵犀一缕。信靠耶稣,此外路路是绝望;坚定不移,万里迢迢聚天堂。

At what hour was Jesus crucified?
Mark 15:25 and John 19:14-16

 

  1. The third hour (Mark 15:25) - "And it was the third hour when they crucified Him."
  2. The sixth hour (John 19:14-15) - "Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he *said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!" 15They therefore cried out, "Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!" Pilate *said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."

     Most probably, John was using the Roman measurement of time when dealing with the crucifixion.  Matthew, Mark, and Luke, for the most part, used the Hebrew system of measuring a day:  from sundown to sunup.  The Roman system was from midnight to midnight.  "John wrote his gospel in Ephesus, the capital of the Roman province of Asia, and therefore in regard to the civil day he would be likely to employ the Roman reckoning. (Encyclopedia of Bible Difficulties, by Gleason Archer, page 364.)
