What does the Bible say about the two thieves crucified with Jesus?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible records that two thieves were crucified alongside Jesus, one of whom repented and was promised paradise, while the other did not.
According to the Gospels, specifically in Matthew 27:38, Mark 15:27-28, Luke 23:32-33, and John 19:18, two thieves were crucified with Jesus, positioned on either side of Him. While both initially derided Jesus, one of the thieves experienced a profound change of heart and recognized Jesus' innocence, rebuking his fellow criminal and asking Jesus to remember him when He entered His kingdom (Luke 23:39-42). Jesus responded with assurance of immediate companionship in paradise (Luke 23:43), illustrating the theme of redemption even at the last moment, emphasizing the sufficiency of grace.
