How Significant Is The Number 3 In The Life Of The Lord Jesus? by Preciousgirl(op): 7:53am On Apr 11, 2020
I have noticed that , Jesus was crusified on the third hour (9am), on the sixth hour (12 noon) darkness covered the land and on the ninth hour he died.

All these times are multiples of 3. He also ressurected on the third day. How significant is this number 3 in the life, death and ressurecttion of our Lord? Any explanations?



Mark 15:25-34

Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. 26 And the inscription of His [d]accusation was written above:

THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27 With Him they also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left. 28 [e]So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And He was numbered with the transgressors.”

29 And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”

31 Likewise the chief priests also, mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, “He saved others; Himself He cannot save. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and [f]believe.”

Even those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.

Jesus Dies on the Cross
33[b] Now when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?[/b]

You forgot that He started His ministry at age 30. The earthly ministry ended 3 years later at age 33. I hope I'm correct.
