golgotha
the common name of the spot where jesus was crucified. it is
interpreted by the evangelists as meaning "the place of a skull"
matt. 27:33; mark 15:22; john 19:17. this name represents in
greek letters the aramaic word gulgaltha, which is the hebrew
gulgoleth num. 1:2; 1 chr. 23:3, 24; 2 kings 9:35, meaning "a
skull." it is identical with the word calvary q.v.. it was a
little knoll rounded like a bare skull. it is obvious from the
evangelists that it was some well-known spot outside the gate
comp. heb. 13:12, and near the city luke 23:26, containing a
"garden" john 19:41, and on a thoroughfare leading into the
country. hence it is an untenable idea that it is embraced
within the present "church of the holy sepulchre." the hillock
above jeremiah's grotto, to the north of the city, is in all
probability the true site of calvary. the skull-like appearance
of the rock in the southern precipice of the hillock is very
remarkable.
