Not a person but an elevated, stone-paved platform outside Pilate's headquarters in Jerusalem, called Gabbatha in Aramaic, where Roman governors set up the judgment seat to hear cases in public (John 19:13). It was here that Pilate presented Jesus to the crowd and formally handed him over for crucifixion. Its precise location within ancient Jerusalem has not been conclusively identified, though several sites near the Temple Mount have been proposed.
