What happened during the three hours of silence while Jesus was on the cross?
During the three hours from high noon to three in the afternoon, absolute silence fell; no words were spoken. The earth was enveloped in darkness. At three o'clock, final statements came, then he gave up the ghost of his own volition and died.
Les explains that while Christ was on the cross, there were three hours of time in which nothing was spoken. Before high noon, He made several statements. At high noon, absolute darkness fell upon the earth. At three o'clock in the afternoon, He spoke the final statements from the cross, gave up the ghost of His own volition, and died. During those three hours there was absolute silence, and the earth was enveloped in darkness.
