If you have read The Bible, you will see that there was never any indication that the two thieves on the crosses beside Jesus were brothers.
But probably they were relatives, might be cousins. A legend says that Dismas was the eldest son of a rich Jewish merchant while Gestas was a peasant. The familiar tie put them in contact and made them friends. Gestas was older and corrupted Dismas. After several years of robbery they were caught, judged and put to death by crucifixion. They were to be Jesus' companions of torment.

What did Jesus say to the man on the cross to the left of him?
A:Mark's Gospel, the first account to be written, simply says (Mark 15:27-28) that Jesus was crucified between two thieves, one on his left hand and one on his right hand, so that the scripture be fulfilled as Jesus was numbered among the transgressors.Luke's Gospel says that one of the malefactors mocked Jesus, while the other repented, saying to Jesus, "Lord remember me in paradise," to which Jesus said unto him, "Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise."Matthew's Gospel says both thieves mocked Jesus - (Matthew 27:44): "They cast the same in his teeth." There is no suggestion that Jesus spoke to either of them, and no likelihood that Jesus would have promised he would be in paradise. Luke's is the theologically most important account and thus the account most Christians prefer.

Why did Luke include Jesus forgiving the thief on the cross?
A:The earliest gospel, now known as Mark's Gospel, mentions the two thieves crucified with Jesus but does not say whether either of them repented. Since we now know that the Gospels of Matthew and Luke were actually derived from Mark, both authors were free to interpret this silence as they chose. The author of Matthew's Gospel decided that they both mocked Jesus and neither of them repented, while the author of Luke's Gospel decided that only one of them mocked him and the other repented and was forgiven by Jesus. Luke's Gospel says that one of the thieves mocked Jesus, but the other thief rebuked him and repented for his sins, creating the occasion for Jesus to talk about seeing him in paradise (Luke 23:40-43): "But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise." No one has ever suggested that Luke was present at the crucifixion, to give a more accurate account than Mark. He simply elaborated on the original because this suited his theology.

How did the two thieves react to Jesus?
The two thieves on the cross were like Jesus in that they were men of flesh and blood. This is where the similarity ends, although they could well have been of Jewish extraction as well. The two men were also crucified with nails. For the executioners there was no difference between Jesus and the other two. They were evildoers and crucifixion with nails was the proper punishment to be applied to them. So they suffered the same cruel and humiliating martyrdom. Those men received a just reward for their misdeeds, as one of them acknowledged, while Jesus wasn't. Jesus was also the eternal Son of God, they were just mortals. Crucifixion with nails was the common method of execution which all three shared, although Jesus was the first to die. Since the two thieves were still alive when Jesus died, the executioners finished with them by breaking their legs with clubs.
