Exegesis
The clause’s complement Kraniou Topos {Κρανίου Τόπος | Kra-ní-ou Tó-pos} is a genitive–noun construction literally meaning ‘Place of a Skull’, making explicit for Greek readers what the Aramaic name implies. In English, the main clause is rendered with a straightforward past narrative verb (“bring” or “led”) and the relative clause becomes “which is translated” or “which means,” preserving the explanatory force while smoothing the participial structure. The final phrase “Place of a Skull” is retained almost literally to preserve the symbolic resonance of the name.
In context — Mark 15:22
And they bring Him to the place called Golgotha , which is translated, Place of a Skull.
