account and <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/26/0" data-bid="27-1" class="b">Joh 19:14-16</a>, which says “it was about the sixth hour” when Pilate handed Jesus over to be executed. Although the Scriptures do not fully explain the difference, here are some factors to consider: The <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/25/0">Gospel</a> accounts generally harmonize with regard to the timing of events during Jesus’ last day on earth. All four accounts indicate that the priests and the elders met after dawn and then had Jesus taken to Roman Governor Pontius Pilate. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/27/0" data-bid="28-1" class="b">Mt 27:1, 2;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/27/1" data-bid="28-2" class="b"> Mr 15:1;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/27/2" data-bid="28-3" class="b"> Lu 22:66–23:1;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/27/3" data-bid="28-4" class="b"> Joh 18:28</a>) Matthew, Mark, and Luke all report that when Jesus was already on the stake, darkness fell over the land from “the sixth hour . . . until the ninth hour.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/28/0" data-bid="29-1" class="b">Mt 27:45, 46;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/28/1" data-bid="29-2" class="b"> Mr 15:33, 34;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/28/2" data-bid="29-3" class="b"> Lu 23:44</a>) A factor that may have a bearing on the timing of Jesus’ execution is this: Scourging, or whipping, was considered by some to be a part of the execution process. Sometimes the scourging was so terrible that the victim died. In Jesus’ case, it was sufficiently severe to make it necessary for another man to carry the torture stake after Jesus started out carrying it alone. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/29/0" data-bid="30-1" class="b">Lu 23:26;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/29/1" data-bid="30-2" class="b"> Joh 19:17</a>) If the scourging was viewed as the start of the execution procedure, some time would have elapsed before Jesus was actually nailed to the torture stake. Supporting this, <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/30/0" data-bid="31-1" class="b">Mt 27:26</a> and <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/31/0" data-bid="32-1" class="b">Mr 15:15</a> mention the scourging (whipping) and execution on the stake together. Therefore, different individuals might give different times for the execution, depending on their perspective regarding the time when the process began. This may explain why Pilate was astonished to learn that Jesus died so soon after he was nailed to the stake. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/32/0" data-bid="33-1" class="b">Mr 15:44</a>) Additionally, Bible writers frequently reflect the practice of dividing the day into four segments of three hours each, as was done with the night. Dividing the day in that way explains why there often are references to the third, sixth, and ninth hours, counting from sunrise at about 6:00 a.m. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/33/0" data-bid="34-1" class="b">Mt 20:1-5;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/33/1" data-bid="34-2" class="b"> Joh 4:6;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/33/2" data-bid="34-3" class="b"> Ac 2:15;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/33/3" data-bid="34-4" class="b"> 3:1;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/33/4" data-bid="34-5" class="b"> 10:3,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/33/5" data-bid="34-6" class="b"> 9,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/33/6" data-bid="34-7" class="b"> 30</a>) Also, people in general did not have precise timepieces, so the time of day was frequently qualified with the term “about,” as we find at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/34/0" data-bid="35-1" class="b">Joh 19:14</a>. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/35/0" data-bid="36-1" class="b">Mt 27:46;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/35/1" data-bid="36-2" class="b"> Lu 23:44;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/35/2" data-bid="36-3" class="b"> Joh 4:6;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/35/3" data-bid="36-4" class="b"> Ac 10:3,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070643/35/4" data-bid="36-5" class="b"> 9</a>) In summary: Mark may have included both the scourging and the nailing to the stake, while John referred only to the nailing to the stake. Both writers may have rounded off the time of day to the nearest three-hour period, and John used “about” when referring to his stated time. These factors may account for the difference in times mentioned in the accounts.
