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.
The 'thief' wasn't 'standing next to Jesus', he was hanging on a torture device next to him. Actually, the Bible says that there were two robbers being executed on both sides of Jesus, for crimes they had committed(Matthew 27:38) (Luke 23:32-43), as was prophesied (Isaiah 53:12)
There are no reliable facts that could support that question.So therefore the answer is unknown.
He was took to trial and they thought the people should vote if he was to be killed on the cross or not and there was a choice to ether kill Jesus or a murderer. sadly, they wanted Jesus to die... soldiers made a cross out of wood and wiped Jesus. (the whip had points on the tip of it and would probably kill a mortal in a couple of hits so there's one proof that Jesus is Gods son.) then they made him carry the tree all the way to the top of a hill where two smaller crosses where and each had a person on it. one of the two crosses had a thief, then the other was a murderer. once jesus was nailed to the cross, the thief said, "when i die, will you take me to heaven?" and jeasus replied, "i will meet you there sometime" (that ment the thief is goin to heaven) then a lot of hours later jesus said "IT is finished" people thought it ment he was dead or close to death. but it ment that sins where washed away.
At the Crucifixion:The 'Good Thief" St Dismas was on Christ's RightandThe 'Bad Thief' named Gestas was on His Left.
A:Each of the gospels has a different account of the crucifixion, but all of them report that there were two others crucified with Jesus. Mark's Gospel, the first account to be written, simply says (Mark 15:27-28) that Jesus was crucified between two thieves, whileMatthew's Gospel says both thieves mocked Jesus - (Matthew 27:44: "They cast the same in his teeth.") andJohn'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.
The thief on the cross beleived in Jesus and was saved.
The person on Jesus right on the cross , then it is a robber.
He saved a thief who really did something bad, but the thief trusted in Jesus! Isn't that a miracle!
Jesus said to the thief on the cross, "Truly, truly, I say unto you, today you will be with Me in paradise."
My guess is "Thief" by Third Day.
Two criminals, often called the "good" thief and the "bad" thief. The "good" thief admitted his sin and accepted Jesus on the cross. The"good thief" asked to come with Jesus to be with him; Jesus told him today you will be with me in paradise. He is said to be the first Saint as he went directly to Heaven by God's order.
All we know is that one robber repented , and the other robber rebuked Jesus.
The presence of the thief on the cross next to Jesus in the crucifixion narrative symbolizes redemption and forgiveness. It shows that even in his final moments, Jesus offers salvation to those who repent and believe in him. The thief's acceptance of Jesus as the Son of God demonstrates that no one is beyond the reach of God's grace and mercy.
This was said by Jesus Christ to the thief who repented on the cross.
JESUS was crucified with two criminals or two thiefs,one on His right,usually known as "Dimas" and this was the thief who believed in JESUS as a Lord and as a Savior,and the other thief was on the left of JESUS and this one denied JESUS as a Lord and a Savior.
Referring to Luke 23:39-43, the thief first acknowledges that he is receiving just punishment (death), and that Jesus had done nothing wrong to receive this punishment. His request to Jesus, "Remember me when you come into your kingdom." implies the thief is putting his trust in Jesus for salvation.
