Because the stories appear to contradict.
The point is, had you used the book of John, your story would have fallen a bit flat. The timeline does not match the other versions. And they are just versions aren't they..

Islamic folks need to stick to the Koran unless they do more research in the Bible before they critique the Bible.
About the sixth hour (hōs hektē). Roman time, about 6 a.m. (a little after 6 no doubt) when Pilate rendered his final decision. Mar_15:25 notes that it was the third hour (Jewish time), which is 9 a.m. Roman time, when the crucifixion began. Why should John give Jewish time writing at the close of the first century when Jerusalem and the Jewish state passed away in a.d. 70? He is writing for Greek and Roman readers.
