“Judgment-Hall” From Concise Bible Dictionary:
The word is πραιτώριον, prætorium, as it is translated in Mark 15:16. It was the official residence of Pilate the governor in Jerusalem (John 18:28, 33; John 19:9; Acts 23:35). It is translated “palace” (the barracks of the Praetorian body of soldiers, from whom Paul’s guards were selected) in Philippians 1:13; “common hall” in Matthew 27:27; and “hall of judgment” in John 18:28.
“Palace” From Concise Bible Dictionary:
This term represents several Hebrew words, and may signify castle, fortress, the king’s residence, or any large building. Thus the expression occurs, “the palace of the king’s house” (2 Kings 15:25). Solomon built several for himself and for his wives (2 Chron. 36:19). The temple built by Solomon is also called “the palace” (1 Chron. 29:1,19). In the New Testament the palace of the high priest, αὐλἠ, signifies his court (Matt. 26:3,58,69). In Philippians 1:13 the word is πραιτὠριον, “the court of the praetor,” or governor, or perhaps “the praetorian guard,” from which Paul’s keepers were taken. Called PRAETORIUM in Mark 15:16.
“Praetorium” From Concise Bible Dictionary:
See Palace.
