Subject: "The Passion of the Christ" |
Bible Note: Greetings my friend, Matthew 27:45 tells us "Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour." I believe that the Jews were in a rush to have this finished, since the Passover was upon them, and the next day after the crucifixion and burial was the Day of Preparation (Matt. 27:62), which preceded the Sabbath (Matt. 28:1). They most certainly wanted this gruesome execution finished in time for the Sabbath. Blessings to you, Makarios |
