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)

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.

Does the bible give the names of the two thieves on the cross next to Jesus?

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, without naming them.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, so that later traditions were able to name each thief separately.In theArabicFirst Infancy Gospelthe penitent thief of Luke's Gospel is called Titus and the impenitent thief Dumachus.InCodex Colbertinusthe penitent thiefis named Zoatham. In the non-canonicalGospel of Nicodemus, thethe penitent thief isDismas and the impenitent thief is Gestas. These sources are not in the Bible, but Catholic tradition is based on the version inthe Gospel of Nicodemus, and the penitent thief is traditionally Saint Dismas.A:The Bible doesn't give their names.
