What natural signs accompanied Jesus' crucifixion?

• A. Darkness only
• B. Earthquake only
• C. Darkness and earthquake
• D. Rainbow and wind

Answer: (C)

The signs shown at Jesus’ crucifixion are darkness over the land and an earthquake at the moment of his death. The gospel accounts describe darkness lasting from noon to about three o’clock, and then an earthquake that shook the land and even split rocks as Jesus died. These two natural signs together are the ones the Bible records for this event. A rainbow or wind isn’t described in connection with the crucifixion, and having both signs conveys the full biblical description of what accompanied Jesus’ death.
