33And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,
The Pioneer Translation RenderingRendered from the original Greek
Matthew 27:33
The Wooden Pole
And coming to a place called Golgotha, which is called the Place of a Skull,
"Golgotha" is transliterated directly from the Aramaic, with the Greek immediately providing its own translation as "Kranίou Topos" — the Place of a Skull. Both names are preserved as the text itself offers both. No theological complexity arises here; this is a straightforward geographical notation.
