However, verses 12:12–13 seem to indicate they went home again the same day after this brief encounter in Bethany.
The Gospel of Luke account states "and the sun was darkened" [44] However, the biblical details do not accord with an eclipse: a solar eclipse could not have occurred on or near the Passover, when Jesus was crucified, and would have been too brief to account for three hours of darkness.
