According to the Gospel of Luke, Jesus was crucified between two criminals. Whether they were murderers, robbers who had killed in the process of robbery, or simply thieves who had got themselves caught is uncertain.

Jesus was crucified alongside two other criminals, he was treated as a criminal. The disciples of jesus were not crucified.
How many people were crucified alongside Jesus?
According the the Christian gospels, two other men were crucified with Jesus. These two men are variously described as thieves, criminals or rebels. Some fundamentalist Christians interpret the Gospels so that there were four men crucified with Jesus because of the different ways in which the men are described and because they take the Bible absolutely literally. So because one gospel says two "criminals" were crucified with Jesus and another says two "thieves" were crucified with Jesus there must have been four. Most people dismiss this and interpret the gospels more sensibly as there being only two other men crucified with Jesus.

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.
