Luke 23:33

Context
23:33 So 1  when they came to the place that is called “The Skull,” 2  they crucified 3  him there, along with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.

1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion of the preceding material.

2 sn The place that is calledThe Skull’ (known as Golgotha in Aramaic, cf. John 19:17) is north and just outside of Jerusalem. The hill on which it is located protruded much like a skull, giving the place its name. The Latin word for Greek κρανίον (kranion) is calvaria, from which the English word “Calvary” derives (cf. Luke 23:33 in the KJV).

3 sn See the note on crucify in 23:21.
