In The Bible it is not referred to. Some traditions have three because of the numerology of three being holy.

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.

There are normally 3 nails on each back foot and 3 on each front - totalling 12 nails on an elephant.

How does a crown of thorns relate to Jesus Christ?

Well, before Jesus was crucified, the Romans put a crown of thorns on His head. You can find the actual scripture in three of the four gospels (Matthew 27:29, Mark 15:17, John 19: 2 and 5). They also made Him carry his cross to the destination of his crucification.

Was Jesus crucified in the same place as the Garden of Eden?

Jesus Christ was crucified outside the wall of Jerusalem on a hill known as Golgotha, or "Place of the Skull". Jerusalem is located in Israel (Matthew 27:29-33). The Garden of Eden was located in the area of the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers. Also in the area was the Pishon and Gihon Rivers. These four rivers are just north of the Persain Gulf. Check you map. It is in present day Iran.

Why was Jesus crucified outside the city of Jerusalem?

In the Old Testament, God gave instructions to the jews to never use nails inside Jerusalem. This is why everything in Jerusalem is made of marble, rather than wood that requires nails. So, since a crucifixion required nails, they had to take Jesus outside of the city's gates to Golgotha. Fascinating! Right here, in three or four short lines . . . -- We learn that the forces of the Roman empire that occupied the holy land were sensitive to the instructions of the old testament, and adhered to them, apparently so as to avoid upsetting the locals. (Presumably right up until they defiled and destroyed the locals' Holy Temple of the old testament less than 50 years later.) -- We learn that it was the followers of the old testament, aka Jews, who crucified Jesus. -- We learn for the first time that crucifixion was a routine method of execution among adherents of the old testament. We didn't know this, because it isn't mentioned anywhere in the old testament, even where the methods of legal execution are explicitly listed. -- We learn for the first time that the old testament prohibits the use of mails anywhere inside Jerusalem. We didn't know this either, because we don't find it stated anywhere in the old testament.


How many nails would be required to install a square of shingles with a 5 x 36 exposure Use 4 nails per shingle?

How many criminals were crucified with Jesus in Easter story?

Only two are mentioned in scripture, perhaps this is because they we nearest to Christ. One also spoke to Him and received an answer. There were possibly others but as they play no part in the events taking place they are not mentioned. This is the traditional answer, but not necessarily the complete answer. The Bible tells us that two (2) κακοῦργος (malefactors) were crucified as well as two (2) λῃστής (thieves) crucified. This is a total of four (4) criminals. This may mess with tradition, however accuracy is more important.
