Henry on Golgotha

Matthew 27:33&35
"And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull...they crucified Him..."

In commentary of this verse, Matthew Henry writes (and I love his concluding statement!):

They came to a place called Golgotha, near adjoining to Jerusalem, probably the common place of execution... Some think that it was called the place of a skull, because it was the common charnel-house, where the bones and skulls of dead men were laid together out of the way, lest people should touch them, and be defiled thereby.

Here lay the trophies of death’s victory over multitudes of the children of men; and when by dying Christ would destroy death, he added this circumstance of honour to his victory, that he triumphed over death upon his own dunghill.
