John 19:14

New King James Version

Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Behold your King!”

See the chapter Copy

On the next day, which followed the Day of Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate,

Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!”

So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby.

Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.

Then they said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they struck Him with their hands.

That day was the Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near.

Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land.

Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
