Footnotes

  1. 56 Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
  2. 57 This is an Aramaic name; see John 19:17.
  3. 58 A place called Golgotha (which means “Place of the Skull”). This location is north and just outside of Jerusalem. The hill on which it is located protruded much like a skull, giving the place its name. The Latin word for the Greek term κρανίον (kranion) is calvaria, from which the English word “Calvary” is derived (cf. Luke 23:33 in the ).
  4. 59 Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  5. 60 It is difficult to say for certain who gave Jesus this drink of wine mixed with gall (e.g., the executioner, or perhaps women from Jerusalem). In any case, whoever gave it to him most likely did so in order to relieve his pain, but Jesus was unwilling to take it.
