from   Mar 15:25,33,34; Luk 23:44,45
darkness   That this general darkness was wholly preternatural is evident from this, that it happened at the passover, which was celebrated only at the full moon, a time in which it was impossible for the sun to be eclipsed, natural eclipses happening only at the time of the new moon. (See Introduction to the Comprehensive Bible, p. 59.) Isa 50:3; Amo 8:9; Rev 8:12; Rev 9:2
