The Romans imposed the death penalty on two thieves impaled alongside Jesus Christ. While robbery itself was not a capital offense according to the Mosaic law, one of these evildoers acknowledged,
The people who were crucified were hard core criminals, repeated thieves, and those guilty of high treason against the Roman empire. It was a capital punishment, brought from todays Turkey.
Two thieves.
Two thieves
The name of the thievery god is usually Hermes, who is the Greek god of trade, thieves, travelers, and guide to the underworld.
The scriptures only give reference to two thieves who were crucifies along side Christ. This was done so that the answer to one of the thieves could be know by all. That of there being different degrees of glory in heaven to which all mankind will be asigned to one.
Crucufixion was a common form of execution. We do not know the specific charges against the criminals who were crucified with Jesus. There was nothig special about them; Jesus was crucified as a common criminal.

Yes, thievery here in Thailand is constant and never-ending. You will be pickpocketed, your room will be burglarized, etc. This is if you are CAREFUL. If you are careless, you will lose EVERYTHING here, in due time....... A nation of THIEVES.....and they prey on each other even more than they prey on outsiders.....
For theological reasons, Jesus had to be crucified between two common thieves to show the actions of the Jews by disregarding Jesus' teachings deserved the anti-Jewish sentiment that lasted nearly 2000 years. Only those who committed high treason were crucified: thieves were not crucified. One of the blatantly historical mistakes in the gospels.
There is nowhere in any translation of the bible where you will read about Jesus being hanged with thieves. However, you can read about Jesus being crucified with two robbers (thieves) in Matthew 27: 38.
