matthew-27:33

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 27:33-49

We have here the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus. I. The place where our Lord Jesus was put to death. 1. They came to a place called Golgotha, near adjoining to Jerusalem, probably the common place of execution. If he had had a house of his own in Jerusalem, probably, for his greater disgrace, they would have crucified him before his own door. But now in the same place where criminals were sacrificed to the justice of the government, was our Lord Jesus sacrificed to the justice of God. Some... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 27:32-44

27:32-44 As they were going out, they found a Cyrenian man, Simon by name, and they impressed him into their service, to bear Jesus' Cross. When they had come to the place which is called Golgotha (which means the Place of a Skull), they offered him wine mingled with gall to drink, and, when he had tasted it, he refused to drink it. When they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots for them; and as they sat there, they watched him. Above his head they placed a... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:33

And when they were come to a place called Golgotha ,.... The true pronunciation is "Golgoltha", and so it is read in Munster's Hebrew Gospel. It is a Syriac word, in which language letters are often left out: in the Syriac version of this place, the first "l" is left out, and the latter retained, and it is read "Gogoltha": and so, in the Persic, "Gagulta"; and in the Arabic, "Gagalut". The Ethiopic version reads it, "Golgotha"; and so, Dr. Lightfoot observes, it is read by the Samaritan... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 27:33

A place called Golgotha - From the Hebrew גלגתה or גלגלת , golgoleth , a skull, probably so called from the many skulls of these who had suffered crucifixion and other capital punishments scattered up and down in the place. It is the same as Calvary, Calvaria, i.e. calvi capitis area , the place of bare skulls. Some think the place was thus called, because it was in the form of a human skull. It is likely that it was the place of public execution, similar to the Gemoniae Scalae at... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 27:33

Verse 33 Matthew 27:33.And they came to the place. Jesus was brought to the place where it was customary to execute criminals, that his death might be more ignominious. Now though this was done according to custom, still we ought to consider the loftier purpose of God; for he determined that his Son should be cast out of the city as unworthy of human intercourse, that he might admit us into his heavenly kingdom with the angels. For this reason the apostle, in the Epistle to the Hebrews,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:26-34

Preparations for the Crucifixion. I. THE SCOURGING . 1 . It had been predicted. "I gave my back to the smiters," Isaiah said in the spirit of prophecy; and again, in words very solemn and very precious to sin-laden consciences, "By his stripes we are healed." The Lord himself had told his disciples beforehand that he should suffer this cruel indignity ( Matthew 20:19 ). The circumstances of the Lord's sufferings were revealed to the prophets ages before the time. This fact shows... read more

Jesus is led to crucifixion. Via dolorosa. ( Mark 15:20-23 ; Luke 23:26-33 ; John 19:16 , John 19:17 .) In these accounts, those of Matthew and Mark are most alike, though varied in expression and in some details; that of Luke is the fullest; that of John distinct from the rest. read more

The reproach of the cross. Upon the release of the infamous Barabbas, the innocent and righteous Jesus was delivered to be crucified; and now we see him suffering the reproach of the cross. I. THE CROSS ITSELF WAS A REPROACH , 1 . It was a symbol of shame . 2 . It was an instrument of shame . II. REPROACH WAS ASSOCIATED WITH IT . 1 . In the place of the crucifixion . 2 . In the inscription on the cross . 3 . In the... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:33

A place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull; quod est Calvariae locus (Vulgate). Hence the Latinized name Calvary. The word means "a skull;" but why the spot was so called is a doubtful question. That it was the usual place of execution is a suggestion with no proof, and one would expect the designation in this case to be "the place of skulls." Tradition (authorized by Origen) pointed to it as the spot where Adam was buried, and where his skull was found—a story that seems... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 27:33

Golgotha - This is a Hebrew word, signifying the place of a skull. This is the word which in Luke is called “Calvary.” The original Greek, there, also means a skull. The word “calvary” is a Latin word meaning “skull,” or place of “skulls.” It is not known certainly why this name was given to this place. Some have supposed that it was because the mount resembled in shape a human skull. The most probable opinion, however, is that it was a place of execution; that malefactors were beheaded there... read more
