Matthew 27:33. And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, -
We do not know why it was so called. There have been many conjectures concerning the name, but they are only conjectures. It was probably just a little knoll, outside the gate of the city, - the common place of execution for malefactors, and the special points to be noted are that Jesus suffered without the gate, in the regular place of doom, - the Tyburn or Old Bailey of Jerusalem, - and so was numbered with the transgressors.
