- dylan604 3y agothanks. stupid autocorrect. i think capitalizing it had an effect
- olddustytrail 3y agoGolgotha is from the Greek, via Aramaic via Hebrew, and refers to the skull. Calvary is from the Latin translation again referring to the skull.
- aitchnyu 3y agoAbout the verse about Jesus giving Simon a new name after a rock's stability, I was kinda disappointed the writers chose the word "Peter" (Greek word, root of petrified, petroleum) instead of the Aramaic word.
