Three hours of darkness:
1. “Now from the sixth hour there occurred darkness over all the land until the ninth hour”, Matthew 27:45.

2. “Now when the sixth hour had come, it became dark over all the land until the ninth hour,” Mark 15:33.

3. “It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour, the sun failing” (Luke 23:44-45).

And IIRC the hours were counted starting at 6am, so the 6th hour would correspond to noon, and the ninth hour would be 3pm.
