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.

They crucified two thieves with him, and him in the midst; they thereby intended him great…Read the comment

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
