SCRIPTURE

"And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death." — Luke 23:32 (ASV)

33

And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

You could not count the three sufferers on Calvary without counting him; he was so completely numbered with the others that he must be reckoned as one of them.

And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

Every item of scorn was added to our Saviour's death; and yet the Scriptures were thus literally fulfilled, for He was numbered with the transgressors.

And there were also two other malefactors,
