The Aramaic name of the place of judgement 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.
