15:25

It was the third hour: The Greek phrase that the Berean Standard Bible translates literally as the third hour refers to 9:00 a.m. According to the Jewish way of keeping time, the day began with sunrise (6:00 a.m.). So the third hour was 9:00 a.m.

You may have a specific term in your language for this time of day. If not, here are some other ways you can translate this:

in the middle of the morning
-or-
when the sun was halfway up
-or-
about three hours after sunrise
-or-
It was nine o’clock in the morning. (Good News Bible)

when they crucified Him: The word crucified is the same word as in 15:24a. Translate it here as you did there.
