Pertanyaan: 231. Pada jam berapa Penyaliban terjadi?
Mark berkata (15:25) itu sekitar jam ketiga, atau, seperti yang kita katakan, pukul sembilan. Sekali lagi, jam keenam disebutkan oleh tiga orang penginjil (Matius 27:45; Markus 15:33; Lukas 23:44), ketika Yesus tampaknya telah tiga jam di salib. Pada ayat-ayat berikutnya, dalam ketiga kasus ini, jam kesembilan disebutkan sebagai waktu kematian, yang akan menjadi pukul tiga. Pernyataan dari Yohanes (Yohanes 19:14) diyakini disebabkan oleh kesalahan penyalin, atau penggunaannya menggunakan metode perhitungan Romawi.
Question: 231. At What Hour Did the Crucifixion Take Place?
Mark says (15:25) it was about the third hour, or, as we should say, nine o'clock. Again, the sixth hour is referred to by three of the evangelists (Matt 27:45; Mark 15:33; Luke 23:44), when Jesus had apparently been three hours on the cross. In the next verses, in all three cases, the ninth hour is mentioned as the time of death, which would be three o'clock. The statement of John (19:14) is believed to be due to a copyist's error, or to his using the Roman method of reckoning.
