Did Jesus say anything during the three hours of darkness on the cross?
Scripture records no words spoken by Jesus during the three hours of darkness on the cross, from noon until the ninth hour. He hung there seemingly in silence, with no record of Him saying a single word during that period.
Les explains that Matthew 27:45 describes darkness over all the land from the sixth hour, which would be noon, until the ninth hour, a three-hour period. During that three-hour period, there is no record of Jesus saying a single word. He hung there seemingly in silence. The context also notes that He was no doubt placed on the cross somewheres toward noon.
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
