Matthew 27:33 Context
31And after that they had mocked him, they tooke the robe off from him, and put his owne raiment on him, and led him away to crucifie him. 32And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to beare his Crosse. 33And when they were come vnto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, 34¶ They gaue him vineger to drinke, mingled with gall: and when hee had tasted thereof, hee would not drinke. 35And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet, They parted my garments among them, and vpon my vesture did they cast lots.

Wesley's Notes for Matthew 27:33
27:33 A place called Golgotha, that is, the place of a skull - Golgotha in Syriac signifies a skull or head: it was probably called so from this time; being an eminence upon Mount Calvary, not far from the king's gardens. #Mark 15:22|; Luke 23:33; John 19:17
People's Bible Notes for Matthew 27:33
Mt 27:33 Golgatha. A Hebrew word, meaning a skull. From its Latin equivalent, "calvaria", comes our English word Calvary, which occurs in the English New Testament only in Luke, where it should be translated "a skull" (Lu 23:33). The name was due, either to a rounded rock like a skull, or to the fact that it was a place of execution and that skulls were lying there. The locality is not certainly known.
