Who died on the cross next to Jesus?

Answer 1

The criminals crucified along with Jesus are traditionally known as Dismus, to the right of Jesus and Gestas to His left. In Roman Catholic tradition, Dismus "the good thief" is known as Saint Dismus even though he was never formally canonised and is recognized as the patron saint of prisoners. The name Dismus has various spellings eg. Dismas or Dumas and probably comes to us from the Greek word for "dawn" or "daylight". The name Gestas is also thought to have come from Greek because it is very similar to the word for "pretender", "charlatan" and similar words. Whatever the origin of these names, both appear to have been Latinised, with the "bad thief", Gestas, also being known as Cassius. (As a point of interest only, the Roman soldier who threw his lance to ensure that Jesus was dead is traditionally known as Longinus, which is the Latin word for a spear or lance). Important note: It should be noted, however, that these names are mere tradition, based on no documented evidence whatsoever. Neither The Bible nor contemporary historical documents record the names of the two criminals, except that they were 'thieves'.
