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.
Luke included the story of Jesus forgiving the thief on the cross to highlight Jesus' compassion and willingness to forgive, even in extreme circumstances. This story also emphasizes the idea that it is never too late to seek redemption and that salvation is available to all who turn to Jesus in faith.
The thief was crucified next to Jesus as a criminal punishment, as crucifixion was a common execution method at the time. This thief is often referred to as the "Good Thief" or the "Penitent Thief" as he expressed remorse for his sins and recognized Jesus as the Messiah before his death. This interaction led to Jesus promising him a place in paradise.
The bad thief's name who died with Jesus was Gestas.
After Jesus was arrested, he was brought before the Jewish religious leaders for trial. He was eventually handed over to the Roman authorities, who sentenced him to death by crucifixion. Jesus was crucified and ultimately died on the cross, but three days later he is said to have risen from the dead, according to Christian belief.
At the Crucifixion:The 'Good Thief" St Dismas was on Christ's RightandThe 'Bad Thief' named Gestas was on His Left.
Dismas, also known as the Penitent Thief, was the criminal who was crucified alongside Jesus in the New Testament. According to Christian tradition, he repented for his sins and asked Jesus to remember him when he entered his kingdom. Jesus then promised him a place in paradise, making him a symbol of redemption and forgiveness.
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.
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.
