Context of Mark 15:25

23They tried to give Jesus some wine to drink. They had mixed some medicine called myrrh into the wine. But Jesus would not drink it. 24Then the soldiers fixed Jesus onto the cross. They took his clothes for themselves. They played a game to decide which soldier would receive each of his clothes. It was about nine o'clock in the morning when the soldiers fixed Jesus to the cross. 26They put a notice there to show the reason why they were killing him. It said, ‘The King of the Jews’. 27They also put two robbers on crosses near to Jesus. One robber was on Jesus' right side. The other robber was on his left side.

Commentaries on Mark 15:25

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 25The third hour - It has been before observed, that the Jews divided their night into four watches, of three hours each. They also divided the day into four general parts. The first began at sunrise. The second three hours after. The third at mid-day. The fourth three hours after, and continued till sunset. Christ having been nailed to the cross a little after mid-day, John 19:14-16, John 19:17, and having expired about three o'clock, Mark 15:33, the whole…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 22-32Verses 22-32 The place where our Lord Jesus was crucified, was called the place of a scull; it was the common place of execution; for he was in all respects numbered with the transgressors. Whenever we look unto Christ crucified, we must remember what was written over his head; he is a King, and we must give up ourselves to be his subjects, as Israelites indeed. They crucified two thieves with him, and him in the midst; they thereby intended him great…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 25Mark states that they crucified Jesus at the third hour, which is nine o'clock in the morning. John 19:14 mentions the time as around the sixth hour, or noon. These are approximate times. They would often describe events in the late morning as happening around the third hour (Matthew 20:3; Acts 2:15) or sixth hour (Mark 15:33; Matthew 20:5; 27:45; Luke 23:44; John 4:6; 19:14; Acts 10:9).Read the comment
• Calvin’s Commentaries · v. 25Mark 15:25 And it was the third hour. This appears not to agree well with the testimony of the Evangelist John; for he relates that Christ was condemned about the sixth hour, (14:14.) But if we consider—what is evident from other passages—that the day was divided into four parts, and that each of the parts took its name from the first hour of its commencement, the solution will not be difficult. The whole time, from sunrise to the second part of the day…Read the comment
