"And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull." — Mark 15:22 (ASV)
And they bring him unto the place, Golgotha
A famous, or rather an infamous one, well known, and much noted for the many executions there:
which is, being interpreted, the place of a skull ;
because the skulls of men that had been executed and buried there, being dug up again, lay scattered about; (See Gill on Matthew 27:33).
