Matthew 27:33

Context
27:33 They 1  came to a place called Golgotha 2  (which means “Place of the Skull”) 3 

1 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

2 tn This is an Aramaic name; see John 19:17.

3 sn A place called Golgotha (which means “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).
