Footnotes
The sixth hour (noon) to the ninth hour (3 p.m.) — three hours of midday darkness. γῆν (gēn) can mean "land" (the region of Judaea) or "earth" (the whole world); both versions are textually valid. This darkness echoes Amos 8:9: "I will make the sun go down at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight," and recalls the Egyptian plague of darkness (Exodus 10:22) — Exodus typology: the true Passover Lamb is dying.
