about the sixth hour: That is, about 12:00 noon.—See study note on Mt 20:3.
a darkness: This darkness was miraculous, caused by God. It could not have been caused by a solar eclipse, which occurs at the time of the new moon. This was Passover season, so the moon was full. And the darkness lasted for three hours, far longer than the longest possible total eclipse, which lasts less than eight minutes. Here in Luke’s account, the observation that “the sunlight failed” is included.—Lu 23:45.
the ninth hour: That is, about 3:00 p.m.—See study note on Mt 20:3.
