| Luke 23:33 | *And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, they crucified him there: and the robbers, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Matthew 27:33.; Mark 15:22.; John 19:17. | Called Calvary. A place at a small distance from Jerusalem, where condemned malefactors were beheaded. So Christ, as a malefactor, dies on Calvary for the redemption of all: that where sin abounded, grace might more abound. (Ven. Bede) --- In this mountain, according to the Hebrew doctors, were interred the remains of our protoparent, Adam. (St. Athanasius) |
