SCRIPTURE

"Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left." — Matthew 27:38 (ASV)

Robbers (ληιστα). Not thieves (κλεπτα) as in Authorized Version. See Mt 26:55. These two robbers were probably members of the band of Barabbas on whose cross Jesus now hung.
