15:25 It was nine o’clock in the morning ¹  when they crucified him.

Markus 15:33

Jesus’ Death

15:33 Now ²  when it was noon, ³  darkness came over the whole land ⁴  until three in the afternoon. ⁵ 

[15:25]  ¹ tn Grk “It was the third hour.” This time would have been approximate, and could refer to the beginning of the process, some time before Jesus was lifted on the cross.

[15:33]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[15:33]  ³ tn Grk “When the sixth hour had come.”

[15:33]  ⁴ sn This imagery has parallels to the Day of the Lord: Joel 2:10; Amos 8:9; Zeph 1:15.

[15:33]  ⁵ tn Grk “until the ninth hour.”
