Some have charged the Bible with a mistake in connection with the time of Jesus’ trial and death.
Mark writes that the Lord was crucified at the third hour (Mark 15:25), while John’s account has the Savior being tried at the sixth hour (John 19:14), seemingly three hours after His death.
< STRONG John’s time reference was based upon Roman civil days, while Mark computed according to Jewish time.
So no contradiction.
(cf. Westcott, 1981, 8:282).

>> WEAK It is an ad hoc defense to claim that there are two methods of reckoning time here.
It has never been shown that this is the case.
