Gabbatha is the Aramaic name for the location called in Greek "the Stone Pavement" (Lithostrotos), where Pilate sat in judgment over Jesus. John 19:13 provides both terms, with Gabbatha likely meaning an elevated or raised area. The exact etymology remains debated, but it designates the specific judicial location in Jerusalem where the Roman governor's judgment seat was placed. All translations preserve the Aramaic transliteration (Spanish Gabbathá, French/German Gabbatha), recognizing it as a proper place name anchored in the passion narrative's Jerusalem geography.
