Mark 15:22 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:22

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).

Mark 15:22 In-Context

20 When they had finished ridiculing him, they took off the purple robe, put his own clothes back on him and led him away to be nailed to the execution-stake.

21 A certain man from Cyrene, Shim`on, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country; and they forced him to carry the stake.

22 They brought Yeshua to a place called Gulgolta (which means "place of a skull"),

23 and they gave him wine spiced with myrrh, but he didn't take it.

24 Then they nailed him to the execution-stake; and they divided his clothes among themselves, throwing dice to determine what each man should get.
