In Christian tradition, Saint Dismas (sometimes spelled Dysmas or only Dimas, or even Dumas), also known as the Good Thief or the Penitent Thief, is the "good thief" described in the Gospel of Luke. This unnamed thief, crucified alongside Jesus, repents of his sins, and asks Jesus to remember him in his kingdom. The name Dismas for this thief dates back to the 12th century, and various traditions have assigned him other names. Gestas, also spelled Gesmas, is the apocryphal name (first appearing in the Gospel of Nicodemus) given to one of the two thieves who was crucified alongside Jesus. According to legend, Gestas taunted Jesus about not saving himself, while Dismas asked for mercy. Dismas was saved, and Gestas was not.
At the Crucifixion:The 'Good Thief" St Dismas was on Christ's RightandThe 'Bad Thief' named Gestas was on His Left.
The bad thief's name who died with Jesus was Gestas.
The thief on the cross beleived in Jesus and was saved.
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.
Jesus didn't save any thief. He was crucified alongside two common thieves, as it was easier to do them all at once rather than individually. He was crucified as the option instead of Barrabas, a murderer who was released through an apparently traditional public "forgiveness".
His name is not given in the New Testament, probably since the focus is on Jesus.
One of the thieves who was crucified with Him. The first thief goaded Jesus saying that if he was 'the Son of God' he could save both himself and them. However the second thief recognised Jesus' innocence and his own guilt and asked Jesus to remember him when he came into his kingdom. As a result of his turning to Christ, Jesus then promised that that very day the thief would be with him, in paradise.
actually, the thief is unnamed in the bible. there is no mention of it.
He saved a thief who really did something bad, but the thief trusted in Jesus! Isn't that a miracle!
Matthew 18:3 I tell you the truth, unless you turn around and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven! Matthew 19:24* And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. *This does NOT mean rich people cannot go to heaven.
Two criminals, often called the "good" thief and the "bad" thief. The "good" thief admitted his sin and accepted Jesus on the cross. The"good thief" asked to come with Jesus to be with him; Jesus told him today you will be with me in paradise. He is said to be the first Saint as he went directly to Heaven by God's order.
