Mark 15:33
15:33 a At noon (literally the sixth hour) darkness came over the whole land until three o’clock (literally the ninth hour). The whole land probably means all of Judah. The darkness was both literal and symbolic—it revealed the sinister nature of what was happening and was a taste of the judgment that Jesus predicted would come upon Israel (see 13:1-31 b; 14:58 c; 15:29 d).
