Each of the gospels has a different account of the crucifixion, but all of them report that there were two others crucified with Jesus, without naming them.Mark's Gospel, the first account to be written, simply says (Mark 15:27-28) that Jesus was crucified between two thieves, whileMatthew's Gospel says both thieves mocked Jesus - (Matthew 27:44: "They cast the same in his teeth.") andJohn's Gospel simply notes that there were two others crucified with Jesus. In those gospels, there is no penitent thief. However, Luke's Gospel has a penitent thief and an impenitent thief, so that later traditions were able to name each thief separately.
In the
ArabicFirst Infancy Gospelthe penitent thief of Luke's Gospel is called Titus and the impenitent thief Dumachus.InCodex Colbertinusthe penitent thiefis named Zoatham. In the non-canonicalGospel of Nicodemus, thethe penitent thief isDismas and the impenitent thief is Gestas. These sources are not in The Bible, but Catholic tradition is based on the version inthe Gospel of Nicodemus, and the penitent thief is traditionally Saint Dismas.
A:The Bible doesn't give their names.

You just know they had to have done something bad enough that got them crucified...But it doesn't say their names or where they're from. I believe the good thief was named "Dismas". I don't think it's in the bible but for some reason the name Dismas was given.
