 32The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;
 42There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus. (John 19:31‑32,42)

 19And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, the King of the Jews.

• It would seem that our evangelist may have adopted a different reckoning of hours, from midnight to noon, as we do. Certainly the Romans did for their civil day...And it suits all the mentions of hours in the Gospel of John excellently, besides falling in with Mark's, 3rd, 6th, and 9th hours of the natural day. But I do not venture to speak positively. (“Notes on John 19:1-15” by W. Kelly)
• It was on our Thursday they ate, and on our Friday He suffered; but to the Jews it was one and the same day. Hence there was still time for such Jews as had been too much occupied with the mock trial and condemnation of our Lord to eat the Passover if they did not legally defile themselves meanwhile. The preparation of the Passover does not mean the 13th, but the 14th Nisan. It was the day before the Paschal Sabbath, which was, on this occasion, a double one, and so of peculiar sanctity. (“John 19” by W. Kelly)
• And it suits all the mentions of hours in the Gospel of John excellently, besides falling in with Mark’s third, sixth, and ninth hours of the natural day from the sun. This serves to explain the otherwise singular message of Pilate’s wife (Matt. 27:19), in which she spoke of suffering much “to-day in a dream because of Him.” To Procula, as a Roman, the day was reckoned from midnight, as the hours appear to be throughout our Gospel, but not in the Synoptists. (“John 19” by W. Kelly)

Now it was [the] preparationa of the Passover; it was about sixthb hour. And he saith to the Jews, Behold, your king.

WK Translation Notes

a
The Jews reckon the day from evening to evening; it is a mistake to suppose that the Lord took the Passover with the disciples on one day and suffered the next. So it would be to our western habit of thought, but not so according to the Jews nurtured in the law. It was on our Thursday they ate, and on our Friday He suffered; but to the Jews it was one and the same day. Hence there was still time for such Jews as had been too much occupied with the mock trial and condemnation of our Lord to eat the Passover if they did not legally defile themselves meanwhile. The preparation of the Passover does not mean the 13th but the 14th Nisan. It was the day before the paschal Sabbath, which was on this occasion a double one, and so of peculiar sanctity.

The weight of witnesses is overwhelming for "sixth." It would seem that our evangelist adopted a different reckoning of hours, from midnight to noon, as we do. Certainly the Romans did for their civil day. The day was reckoned from midnight; as the hours appear to be throughout our Gospel.
