Mark 15:25 “Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.”

   The third hour would be roughly 9 AM by Jewish reckoning. It is important to understand the Jewish measure of time. It is a very biblical approach. The day begins as it did in the beginning, with darkness. The nighttime is the first part of the day and the daytime is the second part. Thus, each day begins when the sun sets.
   The third hour was the third hour of the daytime. So, it was three hours after sunrise. It is because of all this that we know Jesus is crucified at around 9 in the morning.

Heavenly Father, thank you for making time for us. And, I am thankful you control its length. Only you have the wisdom for that. Give us the grace to accept your timing for things. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
