This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Golgotha
An Aramaic word, Gulgoltha, = the Hebrew, Gulgoleth, and translated skull in Jdg 9:53; 2Ki 9:35. The word Calvary comes through the Latin calvaria, meaning skull, and used in the Vulgate. The New Testament narrative does not mention a mount or hill. The place was probably a rounded elevation. The meaning is not, as Tynd., a place of dead men's skulls, but simply skull.
