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 context — Mark 15:33
And when the sixth hour had come, darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
