Holy Scripture

Zechariah 14:5

A church father on this verse
“Christ, then, was crucified for us; he was judged in the night, when it was cold, and therefore a fire of coal was laid. He was crucified in the third hour, and "from the sixth hour there was darkness until the ninth hour," but from the ninth hour there was light again. Are these details written down? Let us inquire.…”
Cyril of Jerusalem, 4th c. — Catechetical Lecture 13:24

Original

5And the valley of my mountains shall be closed up, and the valley of the mountains shall be joined on to Azal, and shall be blocked up as it was blocked up in the days of the earthquake, in the days of Uzziah king of Judah; and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with him.

In context

3And the Lord shall go forth, and fight with those Gentiles as when he fought in the day of war.

4And his feet shall stand in that day on the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave asunder, half of it toward the east and the west, a very great division; and half the mountain shall lean to the north, and half of it to the south.

— Zechariah 14:5 —

6And it shall come to pass in that day that there shall be no light,

7and there shall be for one day cold and frost, and that day shall be known to the Lord, and it shall not be day nor night: but toward evening it shall be light.
