Do you mean who were the men beside Jesus on the cross, or the men to put Jesus on the cross
When Jesus was crucified He was placed alongside two criminals. The two criminals hurled insults and accusations at Christ as they were all slowly dying. At one point, one of the criminals recognized Jesus as the Messiah and asked that he be remembered when Jesus came into His kingdom. This was clear evidence of saving faith, to which Jesus responded "today you will be with Me in paradise." The criminal believed Jesus was God's Son and that He would rise from the dead. As such, he put his faith in Christ. This is saving faith and those who also trust Christ will see this gentleman in paradise.
Jesus was put to death to die for our sins. If Jesus didn't go to the cross we as human beings would not be able to ask God for forgiveness for all our sins. But Jesus rose again. Hallaelujah Brother!
Jesus would not have been put to death except there were a death warrant issued by the Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate. There was. He was. And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. (Luke 23:24)
Our Blessed Lord was put to death and died on Calvary outside Jerusalem.
to wait
They had him put to death for many reasons. Fear was part of it. Jesus was looked at as an instigator and provocateur and the Pharisees were afraid that he (Jesus) would eventually bring the wrath of the Roman Empire down on them.
