Mark's Gospel, the first account to be written, simply says (Mark 15:27-28) that Jesus was crucified between two thieves, while
Matthew's Gospel says both thieves mocked Jesus - (Matthew 27:44: "They cast the same in his teeth.") and
John's Gospel simply notes that there were two others crucified with Jesus
. In those gospels, there is no penitent thief. However, Luke's Gospel has a penitent thief and an impenitent thief, who are not actually named.
In later centuries, attempts were made to give names to the two thieves of Luke's Gospel.In the ArabicFirst Infancy Gospelthe penitent thief is called Titus and the impenitent thief Dumachus.InCodex Colbertinusthe penitent thiefis named Zoatham. In the non-canonicalGospel of Nicodemusand from this gospel intoCatholictradition, thethe penitent thief isDismas and thethe impenitent thief is Gestas.
The name Dismas means 'Sunset' or 'Death', reflecting his role in the Gospel.
In Christian tradition, Saint Dismas (sometimes spelled Dysmas or only Dimas, or even Dumas), also known as the Good Thief or the Penitent Thief, is the "good thief" described in the Gospel of Luke. This unnamed thief, crucified alongside Jesus, repents of his sins, and asks Jesus to remember him in his kingdom. The name Dismas for this thief dates back to the 12th century, and various traditions have assigned him other names. Gestas, also spelled Gesmas, is the apocryphal name (first appearing in the Gospel of Nicodemus) given to one of the two thieves who was crucified alongside Jesus. According to legend, Gestas taunted Jesus about not saving himself, while Dismas asked for mercy. Dismas was saved, and Gestas was not.
At the Crucifixion:The 'Good Thief" St Dismas was on Christ's RightandThe 'Bad Thief' named Gestas was on His Left.
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.
