In fact, they are both wrong, at least in stretch.

wooledg:~$ LC_ALL=C systemctl status ntp
* ntp.service - LSB: Start NTP daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/ntp; generated; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Mon 2017-08-07 08:07:33 EDT; 1 weeks 3 days ag
     Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
  Process: 580 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/ntp start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
    Tasks: 2 (limit: 4915)
   CGroup: /system.slice/ntp.service
           `-606 /usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g -u 109:113

The service is spelled "ntp.service".  There is not currently a systemd
unit file for it; it's using the init.d script named "ntp" instead.

Beyond that, I have no idea what caused the OP's problem.
