The Jewish time started at 6:00 a.m. from the best of my knowledge. The first hour would be 1 hour after 6:00 a.m. The 5th hour would be 5 hours after 6:00 a.m., which would be 11 am. The 11th hour would be 11 hours after 6:00am, which would be 5pm. I hope you understand more clearly now. In Christ Jesus, the true Messiah.
