He was crucified at the third hour.
"And it was the third hour, and they crucified him." Mark 15:25
He was crucified sometime after the sixth hour.
"And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! But they
cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests
answered, We have no king but Caesar. Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified." John 19:14-16

Explanation:
I will, for this answer, direct your attention to Matthew Henry’s Commentary once again:
“He was brought before Pilate about the sixth hour(John 19:14), according to the Roman way of reckoning, which John
uses, with which ours at this day agrees, that is, at six o’clock in the morning; and then, at the third hour, according
to the Jews way of reckoning, that is, about nine of the clock in the morning, or soon after, they nailed Him to the cross.”
