Where Was Jesus Crucified?
Where was Jesus crucified? We find the answer in Scripture. This information is recorded in all four of the gospels. However, three of the gospels use one Greek word and one gospel uses another. “And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull” (Matthew 27:33). “And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull” (Mark 15:22). “And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha” (John 19:17). In these three gospels the Greek word “Golgotha” is used and it means as we read in Matthew “a place of a skull.” The Hebrew and the Greek word were the same and therefore it was a commonly known name. Luke uses the Greek word “Calvary” rather than Golgotha. “And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left” (Luke 23:33).

to that person who said Jesus didn’t exist, I wonder if they know that Jesus did exist…. he’s a historical figure. Look it up. Sorry just had to say that. ^^; But yeah, he crucified on Calvary, I believe like everyone’s saying. Interesting tidbit: even though cruifixes have Jesus pierced through the hands, he was actually pierced through the wrists because a nail in the hands wouldn’t have held up and his weight would’ve resulted in the nail tearing through his flesh… but back then they considered the wrist part of the hand so they wrote it as hand which we traslated so yeah…
“Finally Pilate [see Pontius Pilate] handed Him over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers [see Roman Legions] took charge of Jesus. Carrying His own cross, He went out to The Place of The Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgatha. Here they crucified Him, and with Him two others – one on each side and Jesus in the middle.” (John 19:16-18) See How Did Jesus Christ Die? Golgatha is a transliterated (written in one language according to how it sounds in another) word taken from the original Aramaic (a form of Hebrew that was very likely Jesus’ primary language), meaning “skull.” The Greek translation of Golgatha is kranion, which also means “skull”. From the Greek word came the Latin calvaria, from which then came the word familiar to most English-speaking Christians, Calvary. Although referred to in all four gospel books, there remains controversy in our time as to where exactly the Crucifixion took place. What is known for certain is that the site was: • Outside the existing Jerusa
Golgotha Golgotha = “skull” 1) the name of a place outside Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified; so called, apparently because its form resembled a skull Picture coming…. http://www.cc-bd.com/mr/haiti/olsson/IPi… http://www.ebibleteacher.com/images/golg…
