The day was Friday, and The Bible says it got dark from the sixth hour until about the ninth hour. Daytime hours were measured from dawn, so the first hour was 6:00 AM. The sixth hour was, thus, 12:00 PM, and three hours later, at 3:00 PM, Jesus "gave up the Ghost."
There is still no consensus of the year in which Jesus died, but if the Gospels are taken at face value, the three hours of darkness was surely a lunar eclipse. No solar eclipse lasts for more than 7 and a half minutes, and the moon takes precisely one hour to cover the sun, which means the sun would be covered for about 2 hours. This does not match the darkness's apparent suddenness, as the Gospels suggest. Neither did any solar eclipses around the end of the first third of the 1st Century AD match the time of Passover (in spring).
A lunar eclipse would have been considered an event of darkness, even if the daylight were still sufficient for visibility. Peter mentions in Acts 2:20 that "the moon became as blood," during the Crucifixion. This implies a lunar eclipse, and these can be tracked with mathematical precision.
Given that Jesus died on the day before the Sabbath of the Passover, which means what many Christians now call "Good Friday," the only lunar eclipse of the first third of the 1st Century that took place on the day before the Passover Feast began (Good Friday) occurred in the year 33 AD, on Friday, April 3. If this is so, he was born in 1 AD (there is no year 0).
Given the Bible's penchant for numerological significance, this date seems even stronger, in view of 3 being the number of the Triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit); thus the three 3s of "Friday, April 3, 33 AD." But then, the years of BC and AD were first arrived at by Dionysius Exiguus, who lived from 470 to 544 AD, and he may have been influenced by the same biblical numerology.
The date of April, 33 AD has been corroborated by 3 different teams of astronomers. The use of astronomy to pinpoint the date of Jesus's death was first proposed by Sir Isaac newton.
No one knows for sure, but one day, date and time that a lot of biblical scholars feel is right is 3:00 PM, Friday, April 3rd, AD 37.
The Gospels of Matthew and Luke follow Mark more or less faithfully. For theological reasons, John makes some changes, including Jesus being sent for crucifixion at the sixth hour - 12 noon.
Mark's Gospel contains the most well-structured account of the last twenty-four hours of the life of Jesus, organised into exactly eight three-hour segments.
The Gospels of Matthew and Luke followed the major events from Mark more or less faithfully, and so agree with Mark's timetable of events.
