What lack of explicit scriptural support?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I only meant that the Bible doesn't graphically recount every minute of the 12 hours, gasp for gasp.

The Gospels spend more time on Christ's life and teachings than on his death for a reason, IMO. The triumph is not so much in His unbearable suffering as it is in the empty cross of His Resurrection.

But like I said, sometimes we need help reading between the lines.
