- Matthew 27:33 This is a transliterated Hebrew word meaning ‘skull’. In Latin, ‘Skull’ is calvariae, from which we get ‘Calvary’.
- Matthew 27:34 The soldiers may have added gall to make it taste bitter, another insult; or, this is the drink noble Jewish women provided to victims of crucifixion to dull the senses. In any case, Jesus refused to drink it.
