It was the third hour
In the Jewish method of timekeeping, the day began at sunrise, approximately 6 a.m. Thus, the "third hour" would be around 9 a.m. This detail is significant as it aligns with the timing of the morning sacrifice in the temple, symbolizing Jesus as the ultimate sacrificial Lamb. The precision of this timing underscores the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the divine orchestration of events. The third hour also marks the beginning of the day’s activities, symbolizing a new beginning through Christ’s sacrifice.

when they crucified Him
The act of crucifixion was a Roman method of execution reserved for the most heinous criminals and was designed to be a public spectacle of shame and suffering. The Greek word used here, "σταυρόω" (stauroō), means to impale on a cross. This method of execution was not only physically excruciating but also carried a social stigma, as it was considered a curse under Jewish law (Deuteronomy 21:23). Theologically, this moment is the crux of Christian faith, where Jesus, the sinless Son of God, bore the sins of humanity. The crucifixion is central to the Gospel message, highlighting the depth of God's love and the extent of Christ's obedience and sacrifice. Historically, the crucifixion of Jesus is one of the most well-documented events, corroborated by various sources outside the Bible, which adds to the authenticity and reliability of the Gospel accounts.

(25) It was the third hour.--The precise statement of the hour is peculiar to St. Mark, but it agrees with the narrative common to him with St. Matthew and St. Luke of the darkness that came over the land at the "sixth hour."

Verse 25. - And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. The third hour would literally be nine o'clock. But we gather from ver. 33 that our Lord was on his cross, and still alive, at the sixth hour, that is, at twelve o'clock. The simplest mode of solving the chronological difficulty seems to be this: The Jews divided their day into four parts, which they called hours, namely, the first, from six to nine; the third, from nine to twelve; the sixth, from twelve to three; and the ninth, from three to six. It was, then, within the third hour, that is, between nine and twelve, that they crucified him; and it was from the sixth to the ninth hour that he was actually upon his cross. St. John employs the Asiatic mode of computing time.
