Mark 15:22

Context
15:22 They brought Jesus 1  to a place called Golgotha 2  (which is translated, “Place of the Skull”). 3 

1 tn Grk “him.”

2 tn Grk “a place, Golgotha.” This is an Aramaic name; see John 19:17.

3 sn The place called Golgotha (which is translated “Place of the Skull”). This location 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 the Greek term κρανίον (kranion) is calvaria, from which the English word “Calvary” is derived (cf. Luke 23:33 in the KJV).
