Then, on going out at nine o'clock he noticed some other labourers standing in the marketplace doing nothing;

Going out again at twelve o'clock and at three o'clock, he did the same thing.

And when he went out at five o'clock he came upon some others who were standing; he said to them, 'Why have you stood doing nothing all the day?'

When those who had been hired about five o'clock came, they got a shilling each.

Now from twelve o'clock to three o'clock darkness covered all the land,

and about three o'clock Jesus gave a loud cry, "Eli, eli, lema sabachthani" (that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?)

Throwing off his cloak he jumped up and went to Jesus.

When twelve o'clock came, darkness covered the whole land till three o'clock,

and at three o'clock Jesus gave a loud cry, "El?i, El?i, lema sabachthanei" (which means, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?)

He also told them a parable: "No one tears a piece from a new cloak and sews it on an old cloak; otherwise he will tear the new cloak, and the new piece will not match with the old.

By this time it was about twelve o'clock, and darkness covered the whole land till three o'clock,

So he asked them at what hour he had begun to improve; they told him, "Yesterday at one o'clock the fever left him."

About three o'clock in the afternoon he distinctly saw in a vision an angel of God entering and saying to him, "Cornelius."

"Three days ago," said Cornelius, "at this very hour I was praying in my house at three o'clock in the afternoon, when a man stood before me in shining dress,

He summoned two of the officers and said, "Get ready by nine o'clock to-night two hundred infantry to march as far as Caesarea, also seventy troopers, and two hundred spearmen."
