What does the Bible say about Christ being numbered with the transgressors?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that Jesus was crucified alongside criminals, fulfilling the prophecy that He would be numbered with the transgressors (Isaiah 53:12).

The scripture in Mark 15:27-28 records that Jesus was crucified between two thieves, thus being literally numbered among transgressors. This act fulfills the ancient prophecy from Isaiah 53:12, which speaks of the Messiah bearing the sins of many and being identified with sinners, despite His sinlessness. This identification serves a profound theological purpose, establishing Christ as the sinner's substitute, taking on guilt not His own to facilitate salvation for the elect.
