Exegesis

The verse opens with a genitive absolute construction, kai genomenes horas hektes {Καὶ γενομένης ὥρας ἕκτης | Kaì geno-mé-nēs hō-ras hék-tēs} “and when it became the sixth hour.” The participle genomenes, together with the genitive horas hektes, forms a circumstantial temporal clause that is syntactically independent from the main clause, establishing the time frame for the event that follows.

In contextMark 15:33

And when the sixth hour had come, darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
