The Greek ordinal adjective hektos means "sixth." It appears in the New Testament in contexts of great theological importance: the sixth hour (John 19:14; Luke 23:44) when Jesus was crucified, the sixth seal of Revelation (Revelation 6:12), the sixth angel (Revelation 9:13), and the angel's announcement to Mary that this is "the sixth month" of Elizabeth's pregnancy (Luke 1:26).
Hektos (sixth) is numerically significant in several key NT passages. The "sixth hour" of the crucifixion marks the noon darkness — when all the land went dark from the sixth to the ninth hour as Jesus hung on the cross (Luke 23:44). At the sixth hour, John records that Pilate presented Jesus to the crowd: "Here is your king." The sixth day in creation was when God made humanity; the sixth hour on the cross marked the new creation moment when the last Adam was lifted up. Numbers carry meaning in the biblical narrative.
