"[And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was reckoned with transgressors.]" — Mark 15:28 (ASV)
And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
Sinners to the right of him, sinners to the left of him, sinners all around him, surrounded by those who sinned in the very highest degree by putting him to death: He was numbered with the transgressors. Oh, that sweet word! It is the hope of transgressors now that he was counted with them, and for his sake all the blessings of heaven now descend upon transgressors who accept him as their Substitute and Savior.
And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
You could not count the "transgressors" on those crosses without counting him; there were three, and the One in the middle could not be passed by as you counted the others.
