Where in the Bible is the good thief on the cross mentioned?

Answer 1

It doesn't tell us in The Bible (NIV), but the important point is that one beleived and went to heaven but the other didn't believe therefore went to hell. You can read the story of the two criminals who died with Jesus at Luke 23:26-46.

Answer 2

Luke mainly.

It's Luke 23:39-43- (39)"One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!" (40) But the other crminal reubuked him. "Don't you fear God." he said, "Since you are under the same sentence? (41) We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong." (42) Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." (43) Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."

They are correct, except verse 43: In 43 the coma should be moved, there are no punctuation in the Bible, man added that-see below:

Luke 23:39 And one of the wrong doers which were hanged, Spoke to him saying, If you be Christ, save Yourself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing you are in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Yeshua/Jesus, Lord, remember me WHEN You come into Your Kingdom. (43 should be read like this:)

43 And Yeshua/Jesus said to him, I say to you today, truly you shall be with Me in paradise.

Here in verse 43, there was no way the thief could have went anywhere but the grave, because Messiah HAD TO lay in the tomb-3 days and 3 nights as the sign of Jonah. He of didn't go anywhere until the afternoon of the 1st day of the week, He told the women in John 20:17: "Touch Me Not; for I have not yet ascended to My Father: )

And there's much more to it! Love in Messiah Yeshua's Service!

Answer 3

A:It is only in Luke's Gospel that one thief repented and Jesus promised to see him in heaven, while the other reviled Jesus.

The original New Testament gospel, now known as Mark's Gospel, simply states that there were two others crucified with Jesus, without suggesting that they either reviled Jesus or repented. Matthew's Gospel follows Mark reasonably faithfully but states that both the thieves reviled Jesus. John's Gospel alters the crucifixion story quite substantially but once again, as in Mark, simply reports that there were two others crucified with Jesus.

Answer 4

In the book of Luke, chapter 23 verse 43, Jesus speaks to one of the thieves being crucified with Him. This is the thief who asks Jesus to remember him when He comes into His Kingdom. Jesus says, "Truly I say to you, this day you will be with me in Paradise." This is an assurance to all people that all that is needed to get into Heaven is repentance and faith in Jesus as our Saviour.

Answer 5

He is unnamed in the Bible. The important part is that God knew who he was.

Answer 6

It doesn't: it may be in a secular source.

Answer 7

The names of the two thieves who were crucified with Jesus are not named in the Bible, but are perhaps named in Church Tradition.
