Lukas 2:36

The Testimony of Anna

2:36 There was also a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old, ¹  having been married to her husband for seven years until his death.

Lukas 23:33

23:33 So ²  when they came to the place that is called “The Skull,” ³  they crucified ⁴  him there, along with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.

[2:36]  ¹ tn Her age is emphasized by the Greek phrase here, “she was very old in her many days.”

[23:33]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion of the preceding material.

[23:33]  ³ sn The place that is called ‘The Skull’ (known as Golgotha in Aramaic, cf. John 19:17) is north and just outside of Jerusalem. The hill on which it is located protruded much like a skull, giving the place its name. The Latin word for Greek κρανίον (kranion) is calvaria, from which the English word “Calvary” derives (cf. Luke 23:33 in the KJV).

[23:33]  ⁴ sn See the note on crucify in 23:21.
