Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
(elevated). The
pavement
on which Christ was sentenced (
John 19:13
13
When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. (John 19:13)
).
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
The
Aramaic
name of the place of
judgment
in
Jerusalem
, where the
Lord
was condemned. The meaning of Gabbatha is “elevated place” and its
Greek
name was
λιθόστρωτος
, “the
pavement
.” It was doubtless a raised platform, with a tesselated pavement, which the Romans so often made. It would thus answer both descriptions (
John 19:13
13
When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. (John 19:13)
