Note 6 at Joh 19:14: As mentioned in note 3 at Joh 1:39, the Jews reckoned time from sunrise. That would make the sixth hour approximately noon by Jewish reckoning. However, Mark said that Jesus was crucified at 9:00 a.m. (Mr 15:25), and Matthew (Mt 27:45), Mark (Mr 15:33), and Luke (Lu 23:44) all clearly stated that there was darkness from noon until 3:00 p.m. when Jesus died. Therefore, John must have been using the Roman method of reckoning time that started at midnight. This would mean Jesus was condemned by Pilate here at about 6:00 a.m. (see note 6 at Mr 15:25).
