And he went out about the third hour (9:00 a.m.) and saw others standing idle in the market place;

He went out about the sixth hour (noon) and the ninth hour (3:00 p.m.), and did the same thing.

And about the eleventh hour (5:00 p.m.) he went out and found others standing around, and he said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day?’

Those who had been hired at the eleventh hour (5:00 p.m.) came and received a denarius each [a day’s wage].

Now from the sixth hour (noon) there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour (3:00 p.m.).

About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud [agonized] voice, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
