He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
Note 3 at Jn. 1:39: The Jews counted time from sunrise or approximately 6:00 a.m. (Example: third hour in Acts 2:15 is 9:00 a.m.). That would make the tenth hour 4:00 p.m., or just about two hours before dark. It is possible, however, that John used the Roman method of reckoning time from 12 midnight, which would make the tenth hour 10:00 a.m. (see note 6 at Jn. 19:14, p. 467).
