The name "place of the skull" may derive from the shape of the hill resembling a skull or from its association with death and crucifixion. In the Roman era, crucifixion was a common method of execution for criminals and was intended to be a public spectacle to deter others from similar offenses. The location's proximity to the city allowed many to witness the crucifixion of Jesus, fulfilling various Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah's suffering and death.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Hebrew origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Golgotha, a hill near Jer.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Golgotha (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1115: Γολγοθᾶ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Γολγοθᾶ</span></span> (<span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>, or <span class="greek2">Γολγοθᾶ</span> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> (see <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span> Proleg., p. 102; <span class="abbreviation">Kautzsch</span>, p. 10); also <span class="greek2">Γολγοθᾶ</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> marginal reading in <a href="/interlinear/john/19-17.htm">John 19:17</a>; accusative <span class="greek2">Γολγοθᾶν</span> <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span> in <a href="/interlinear/mark/15-22.htm">Mark 15:22</a> (<span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">Γολγοθᾶν</span>, see their Appendix, p. 160), elsewhere indeclinable, <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 61 (60)), <span class="accented">Golgotha,</span> Chaldean <span class="hebrew">גֻּלְגָלְתָא</span>, Heb. <span class="hebrew">גֻּלְגֹּלֶת</span> (from <span class="hebrew">גָּלַל</span> to roll), i. e. <span class="greek2">κρανίον</span>, <span class="accented">a skull</span> (Latin<span class="latin">calvaria</span>], the name of a place outside of Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified; so called, apparently, because its form resembled a skull: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/27-33.htm">Matthew 27:33</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/15-22.htm">Mark 15:22</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/19-17.htm">John 19:17</a>.
