People's Bible Notes for Matthew 27:33


Mt 27:33 Golgatha. A Hebrew word, meaning a skull. From its Latin equivalent, "calvaria", comes our English word Calvary, which occurs in the English New Testament only in Luke, where it should be translated "a skull" (Lu 23:33). The name was due, either to a rounded rock like a skull, or to the fact that it was a place of execution and that skulls were lying there. The locality is not certainly known.
