LUKE 23:33 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
Luke 23:32Luke 23:34
“And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.”
When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals — one on his right, the other on his left — the place called the Skull (Kranion, Golgotha): the execution site outside Jerusalem. Crucified him there: the act is stated simply — no elaboration. Along with the criminals, one on each side: the transgressors flanking the Servant of the Lord.

Church Fathers on Luke 23:33

When mankind became corrupted, then Christ manifested His own body, that where corruption has been pass seen, there might spring up incorruption. Wherefore He is crucified in the place of Calvary; which place the Jewish doctors say was the burial-place of Adam.

ATHAN ·

Or else, without the gate were the places where the heads of condemned criminals were cut off, and they received the name of Calvary, that is, beheaded. Thus for the salvation of all men the innocent is crucified among the guilty, that where sin abounded, there grace might much more abound.

Bede · 8th century

The only-begotten Son of God did not Himself in His own nature in which He is God suffer the things which belong to the body, but rather in His earthly nature. For of one and the same Son both may be affirmed, namely, that He does not suffer in His divine nature, and that He suffered in His human.
