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.

Who were the two thieves crucified with Jesus?
Other answers from our community:The names of the two thieves are not known, since thousands of people were crucified during that time period. Most of the time, the Romans did not record whom they crucified unless it was a crime against the state or against one of the rulers. The two thieves certainly wouldn't have been important enough to warrant an historical record of themselves.None of the gospel accounts provide the names of the two thieves.Their names are Dismas and Gestas according to the Gospel of Nicodemas. Dismas, on the right who would meet Y'shua in paradise, and Gestas on the left, who did not believe.They are normally referred two not by name but as a character these characters are the Penitent Thief or The Good Thief and the Impenitent Thief who did not ask Jesus To remember him.

A:It is very possible that Jesus of Nazareth was crucified, after all the Romans crucified many thousands in first-century Palestine. Crucifixion was not uncommon and would not, by itself, make Jesus special. Jesus of Nazareth was not crucified if he did not exist, and there are many hypotheses as to the background of the Jesus story, including that the story was based around the second-century-BCE Teacher of Righteousness mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls or that the pre-gospel Jesus was purely spiritual, crucified in heaven (as various Near Eastern gods were).
