                                              Contradictory information
                                              about the time of Jesus'

                                              (pbuh) supposed
                                              crucifixion:

                                              In the relevant passages from Mark
                                         15:25, Matthew 27:45-46, Luke 23:44-46
                                         and John 19:14-15 the time of Jesus' (pbuh)
                                         supposed crucifixion differs from one an-

                                         other.
                                              It was nine in the morning when they
                                              crucified him.(Mark 15:25)
                                              It was now about noon, and darkness
                                              came over the whole land until three in
                                              the afternoon, for the sun stopped shin-
                                              ing. And the curtain of the temple was
                                              torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud
                                              voice, "My Lord, into Your hands I com-
                                              mit my spirit." When he had said this, he
                                              breathed his last. (Luke 23:44-46)



                                              The so-called last words

                                              of Jesus (pbuh):

                                              There is also contradictory informa-
                                            tion in the four Gospels about the last
                                            words of Jesus (pbuh) during his sup-
                                            posed crucifixion. Mark 15:34-37 and
                                            Matthew 27:46-50 say that Jesus (pbuh)
                                            called out:
