It was nine o'clock in the morning when they crucified him.

At noon the whole country was covered with darkness, which lasted for three hours.

It was about twelve o'clock when the sun stopped shining and darkness covered the whole country until three o'clock; and the curtain hanging in the Temple was torn in two.

(SEE 23:44)

God sent darkness on the country, but the Egyptians did not obey his command.

I can make the sky turn dark, as if it were in mourning for the dead."

The Sovereign LORD has taught me what to say, so that I can strengthen the weary. Every morning he makes me eager to hear what he is going to teach me.

The time is coming when I will make the sun go down at noon and the earth grow dark in daytime. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken.

I will turn your festivals into funerals and change your glad songs into cries of grief. I will make you shave your heads and wear sackcloth, and you will be like parents mourning for their only child. That day will be bitter to the end.
