Pilate pronounces judgement

Saint John - Chapter 19


Pilate pronounces judgement from the Gabbatha. J-J Tissot
[13] Pilatus autem cum audisset hos sermones, adduxit foras Jesum : et sedit pro tribunali, in loco qui dicitur Lithostrotos, hebraice autem Gabbatha.
Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat, in the place that is called Lithostrotos, and in Hebrew Gabbatha.


From The Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ, by J-J Tissot (1897)

The meaning of the two words Gab after and Little store bottles, which I used to designate the spot from which Judgment was pronounced, is not the same, four Gather for signifies an elevated place or platform, whereas Little store of DOS means paved with mosaics or tiles.

Totus tuus ego sum 
Et omnia mea tua sunt;
Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
