Matthew, Mark, and Luke all report that from the sixth hour, when Jesus was already on the stake, darkness fell over the land “until the ninth hour. ” ​ — Matt. 27: 45, 46; Mark 15: 33, 34; Luke 23: 44.
Nii Matteus, Markus kui ka Luukas annavad teada, et kuuendal tunnil, kui Jeesus oli juba piinapostil, laskus üle kogu maa pimedus, „mis kestis üheksanda tunnini ”.
