Who Was Next To Jesus When He Died?

Death of Jesus

Do you believe that Jesus died in his own death, as the Bible claims?In fact, the biblical story of Jesus’ death is historically true.God frequently grants people the high honor of being martyred for their religious beliefs.

But Jesus is considerably more than an ordinary martyr in terms of significance.Not only was He assassinated for preaching the truth, but death was also His life’s purpose.The Bible is unequivocal on this point.

  1. ″You are aware that the rulers of the Gentiles exert control over them, and that their high officials exercise authority over them,″ Jesus remarked regarding Himself.
  2. That is not the case with you.
  3. As a result, anybody who wishes to rise to greatness must first become your servant, and anyone who wishes to be first must first become your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but rather to serve, and to sacrifice his life as a ransom for many″ (Matthew 20:25-28).

As He stated immediately before His death: ″Very truly, I tell you, until the kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it is nothing more than a single seed.″ However, if it dies, it will generate a large number of seeds.Anyone who cherishes their life in this world will lose it, but anyone who despises their life in this world will keep it for the rest of their lives.Every person who serves me must also follow me, and wherever I go, my servant will be as well.

My Father will show respect to the person who serves me.Now my spirit is in turmoil, and I’m not sure what to say.Father, can you save me from this hour″ if I pray?

  1. No, it was precisely for this reason that I arrived at this hour.
  2. Father, may your name be exalted!’″ (See also John 12:24-27.)

God prompted the renowned prophet Isaiah hundreds of years before Jesus came to earth to write this deep prophesy about the Messiah, Jesus, who would come: ″See, my servant will behave wisely; he will be elevated and lifted up and exalted above all others.″ As many people were appalled by him because his appearance was so disfigured that it could not have been a human being, and his form was so marred that it could not have been a human likeness, so many people will be appalled by him when he sprinkles many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him.Because they will see what they were not told, and they will hear what they were not told, they will come to understand.To whom has the arm of the LORD been exposed, and to whom has our word gained traction?

He grew up in front of him like a fragile sprout, and he grew up like a root emerging from dry earth.He possessed no beauty nor majesty to entice us to him, nor was there anything in his aspect that we should want him.He was hated and shunned by people; he was a man of agony and pain, and he was well acquainted with misery.

  1. He was loathed, and we regarded him in low regard, as if he were a person from whom people kept their faces hidden.
  2. He certainly took on our agony and suffered our suffering, yet we still thought him to be punished by God, tormented by God, or somehow afflicted.
  3. However, he was pierced for our trespasses, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was placed on him, and it is through his wounds that we have been restored to wholeness and healing.
  4. We have all gone astray, like sheep, and each of us has chosen his own path, and the LORD has placed the guilt of all of us on him.
  5. His life had been shattered and tormented, yet he refused to speak out; he had been carried to the slaughterhouse like a lamb, and just as a sheep before its shearers remains mute, so he refused to speak out.

He was taken away as a result of injustice and judgment.Who, however, from his generation stood up and protested?Because he was expelled from the land of the living, and because my people had transgressed, he had been punished.

He was placed to a burial alongside the evil and with the wealthy upon his death, despite the fact that he had committed no violence and had spoken without malice.Although it was the LORD’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, even if the LORD makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his children and live a long life, and the LORD’s will will be accomplished in his hand, as he has done in the past.Having endured, he will see the light of life and be content; with his knowledge, my upright servant will justify many others, and he will carry their sins.As a result, I will give him a part among the famous, and he will divide the spoils with the powerful, in recognition of the fact that he poured out his life until death and was listed among the transgressors.Because of this, Jesus bore the sins of many and interceded on their behalf″ (Isaiah 52:13-53:12).

He will glimpse the light of life, as the prophet predicted, ″after he has endured much pain.″ The Gospels make it quite plain that Jesus rose from the dead three days after He was executed.That appears to be impossible, yet with God, nothing is impossible.Even Jesus’ own disciples were skeptical that it had actually occurred.

He, on the other hand, seemed to them alive.Once they had come to believe, they went out into the world and proclaimed the good news of pardon through Jesus, and they were assassinated as was their lord.No one, not even God, could have imagined a person as extraordinary as Jesus.

  1. He is the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of all mankind.
  2. Animals aren’t up to the challenge.
  3. For this reason, Jesus was the only acceptable sacrifice because of his sinlessness.
  4. We should be solid in our faith because we have a great high priest who has risen into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, who has ascended into heaven.
  5. Our high priest, after all, is not an impotent figure who is unable to understand our shortcomings, but rather one who has been tempted in every manner, just as we are—and yet he did not transgress″ (Hebrews 4:14-15).

So if someone is in Christ, the new creation has arrived: The old has passed away, and the new has come into being.The source of all of this is God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and entrusted us with the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the entire world to himself through Christ, and that God was not holding individuals accountable for their sins.And he has entrusted us with the message of peace and reconciliation.

As a result, we serve as Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were addressing the world via our efforts.On Christ’s behalf, we beseech you to seek reconciliation with God.God caused him, who was without sin, to be sin for us, in order that we may become the righteousness of God through him″ (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

It is certain that we will face difficulties in life, whether we believe or not. Nothing in our lives is so tough that it should prevent us from finding and accepting the truth. Take, for example, Jesus while thinking about truth. Exactly where is the evidence for Jesus’ death? The physical injury done on Jesus’ body is a significant indicator that he would die:

  1. During Jesus’ crucifixion, he was severely whipped and beaten.
  2. His side was stabbed by a spear from soldiers.
  3. Water and blood gushed out of the spear hole, indicating that the inside had been severely damaged.
  4. It was wrapped in tight cloths by those who laid Jesus’ body to rest.
  5. He was buried in a chilly rock tomb, which was sealed with a large boulder and guarded by guards.
  6. Despite the severe suffering and significant loss of body fluids, he was unable to consume anything for several hours.

Any one of those things has the potential to kill a person.Considering the circumstances, surviving such treatment would be nothing short of a miracle.Despite the fact that Jesus had done several miracles on others, He never mentioned avoiding death.

He, on the other hand, stated that He had come to die and that He would very probably be slain.The testimony of Jesus’ death are powerful, diversified, and resoundingly consistent:

  1. The soldiers who crucified Him were under the impression that He had dead. Pilate was certain that Jesus had died when he saw it, and the other apostles were as well.
  2. The historical testimonies of the three witnesses, Matthew, John, and Mark, claim that He died.
  3. In addition to interviewing numerous individuals and writing about Jesus and His death, Luke, a physician and confirmed historian, thought that Jesus had died
  4. Jesus’ other disciples and supporters believed that He had died
  6. The death of Jesus is mentioned by secular writers from the first and second centuries (e.g., Josephus, Tacitus, Lucian).

You are strongly urged to read the Gospel stories in their original language.Mathew chapters 26-28, Mark chapters 14-16, Luke chapters 22-24, and John chapters 18-21 are all examples of biblical literature.They not only describe the story of Jesus’ death, but they also tell the story of His resurrection.

There is an incredible amount of historical proof provided by several accounts.In addition, there are the essential words of the apostle Paul: ″Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I proclaimed to you, which you accepted, and on which you have taken a position.″ If you cling tenaciously to the message I proclaimed to you, you will be saved by this gospel.Otherwise, you have placed your faith in vain.

  1. I handed on to you as of first importance what I had received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried according to the Scriptures, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve.
  2. After then, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, the vast majority of them are still alive, but some have passed away, according to the records.
  3. First Jesus came to James, then to the other apostles, and finally to me as though I were an unusually born child, as described in the Bible (1 Corinthians 15:1-8).

Many people have spoken, both during Christ’s lifetime and in the years immediately after. Anyone born hundreds of years later cannot simply dismiss their testimony as untrue. Find Out More!

We have all sinned and are thus deserving of God’s wrath.God, the Father, sent His only Son to fulfill that judgment on behalf of all who place their faith in Him.Following the Bible’s depiction of Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who led a spotless life, Jesus loves us so much that He died for our sins, accepting the penalty that we deserve, and was buried before rising from the grave.

″Jesus is Lord,″ you will be spared from judgment and spend forever with God in heaven if you genuinely accept and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, and announcing, ″Jesus is Lord.″ What is your reaction to this?Yes, I wish to follow in Jesus’ footsteps.I identify as a follower of Jesus.

  1. I still have a lot of questions.

CRIMINALS ON THE CROSS – Who Were They, Next To Jesus?

Is it possible that Jesus spoke anything to anybody else when he was on the cross?Yes, to one of the two criminals who were executed with Him on the cross, as recounted in Luke 23:39-43: One of the convicts who was hanging slandered Him, saying, ″If You are the Christ, save Yourself as well as us.″ The other responded by questioning him: ″Do you not even have fear of God, considering that you are subject to the same penalty?″ And we are rightfully so, because we are receiving what we deserve as a result of our actions; nevertheless, this Man has done nothing wrong.″ He then addressed Jesus by saying, ″Remember me, Lord,″ as if he were entering the Kingdom of Heaven.43 And Jesus replied to him, ″Truly, I tell to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise,″ which means ″today you will be with Me in paradise.″ The following passage from Matthew adds a bit additional flavor to the story: After then, He was crucified with two other robbers: the one on His right and the other on His left.

People passing by continued to slander Him and wave their hands in the air.’You who demolish the temple and rebuild it in three days, spare Yourself!’ 40 Come down from the cross, if You are the Son of God,″ says the Apostle Paul.41 Likewise, the chief priests, in unison with the scribes and elders, stated, 42 ″He rescued others, but He cannot save Himself.″ If He truly is the King of Israel, He must now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him and acknowledge Him as such.

  1. 43 He placed his confidence in God; now, if He wills, let Him be delivered; because He has declared himself to be ″the Son of God.″ 44 Even the thieves who were crucified with Him slandered Him with the same epithet as before (Matthew 27:38-44).
  2. According to the Gospel of Matthew, both ″robbers″ despised Jesus, although the Gospel of Luke claims that just one of the two did.
  3. Which of the two accounts is correct?
  4. Both of these statements are correct.
  5. They crucified Jesus after six hours of suffering: ″Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.″ In the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud shout,″ the Bible says.

(See Mark 15:25 and 34.) After being nailed to the cross, it’s likely that both thieves lashed out in anguish and wrath at everyone and everything in sight, including Jesus.This was especially true after they witnessed the chief priests and the crowd ridiculing Him.As time passed, however, one of the two came to accept Jesus as God by His mercy, and the other was ″rebuked″ from on high.

Who were ″those passing by″ on Jesus’ cross, according to Matthew 27:39?Jesus on a colossal cross on a scenic hilltop is a work of Roman Catholic art that is not based on the Bible.Romans were crucified immediately near to important highways (see Golgotha) on short crosses (see sour wine) in order for the gruesome spectacle of the crucified victims to urge passing motorists to fear and submit to Rome’s authority.

Who took Jesus off the cross? What were the names of the other two guys beside Jesus?

  1. In Matthew 27:57-60, we learn that a man called Joseph petitioned Pilate to have the corpse of Jesus taken away and buried in a tomb that he had purchased.
  2. Joseph was a religious leader who, in contrast to the other of Jesus’ companions, did not want Jesus to die.
  3. Joseph was a devout follower of Jesus Christ who lived a life of integrity.
  4. Additionally, we learn in John 19:38-42 that another man called Nicodemus assisted Joseph in the placement of Jesus’ body in the tomb.
  5. The spices and ointments he carried with him were intended to keep the body from stinking too unpleasant.
  6. The answer to the second inquiry, ″May you tell me the names of the other two people who were with Jesus?″ can be found in Luke 23:39-42.
See also:  What Was Jesus Cross Made Of?

The names of the two convicts who stood next to Jesus are not given to us in the chapter, but we do know that one of them believed that Jesus was the Son of God, according to the verse.A few moments before Jesus’ death, he pleads with Jesus to ″remember″ him when He comes into His kingdom.He assured him that he would be with him in heaven as a result of his response.

  1. This demonstrates to us that God’s mercy is extended to anybody who chooses Jesus as their Savior, regardless of their previous actions!

Who was with Jesus when he died?

  1. The disciples were there at the time of the crucifixion.
  2. John: They were, or at least one of them was (xix, 26).
  3. According to the Synoptics, everyone had vanished; they had all deserted their Master and fled into hiding.
  4. Unless Judas had already hanged himself, as Matthew claims, the Twelve Apostles at this point consisted of one traitor and eleven cowards, according to Matthew.
  5. What ladies accompanied Jesus to his execution and observed it?
  6. Women of Galilee in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark (Matt.

xxvii, 55; Mark xv, 40, 41).″Daughters of Jerusalem,″ that is, ladies from Judea, according to Luke (xxiii, 28).What happened to Mary Magdalene and her friends at the crucifixion and what happened to them?

  1. Matthew and Mark are ″observing from a distance″ (Mark xv, 40; Matt.
  2. xxvii, 55, 56).
  3. They ″stood beside the cross,″ according to John (xix, 25).
  4. What if Mary, Jesus’ mother, happened to be there?

John: She was a beautiful woman (xix, 25).Synoptics: She was not who she claimed to be.If she was present, as John claims, is it conceivable that the Synoptics were unaware of this fact when they refer to ″the wandering Magdalene″ no fewer than seven times in their accounts?

  1. Who was the woman who stood at the crucifixion with Jesus’ mother?
  2. ″Now there stood beside the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary, the wife of Cleophas,″ John relates.
  3. ″ (xix, 25).
  4. Given that two girls of the same family were given the name Mary, it must have been a fairly popular choice.
  5. It is quite unlikely that these two sisters had the same name, Mary.
  6. The name of Jesus’ mother is never mentioned in the gospel of John, and it is clear that he did not believe her name to be Mary.

If John were the sole Gospel, Christians would be completely unaware of the Virgin’s identity.The practice of mariolatry did not begin in the Johannine church.

  1. Answer The gospels describe a centurion and guards, who were most likely Roman, who were in the vicinity of Jesus.
  2. John also states that the two prisoners who were crucified with Jesus were still alive, despite the fact that their legs had been broken in order to speed their deaths.
  3. ″From a distance,″ Mary Magdalene and another Mary, the mother of James and Joses (and, presumably, Jesus Himself), and a woman described in one account as Salome (and in another as the mother of James and John, sons of Zebedee), were all present.
  4. Most of His disciples were not in the vicinity for fear of being apprehended and tortured by the authorities.
  5. Because the Roman crucifixion was a public spectacle, it’s possible that a large number of people came and departed during the day.
  6. Answer ″Today you will be with me in paradise,″ Jesus assured the good thief who was nailed to the cross next to him.

″My Father is constantly with me,″ Jesus said at one point in his life.

What Happened to the Thief on the Cross?

  1. A common misconception is that the thief who was crucified next to Jesus Christ was ″saved″ and went to heaven instantly when he died because Christ had informed him in 43 that he would go to paradise when he died.
  2. And Jesus said to him, ″With certainty, I tell to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise,″ which means ″with Me in Paradise.″ The Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) was published in 1982 by Thomas Nelson as the New King James Version (NKJV).
  3. In Luke 23:43, the Bible says, ″ ″Without a doubt, I assure you that you will be with Me in Paradise today.″

Consider the context of Christ’s statement to the thief on the cross

  1. One of the fundamental principles of Bible study is to read a verse in the context of its surrounding verses and then in the greater context of the entire Bible.
  2. As a result, the interpretation of this passage must be consistent with 13 Everyone else save the Son of Man, who is in heaven, has climbed to the highest level of the celestial throne.
  3. It is said in John 3:13 of The Holy Bible, New King James Version 1982 by Thomas Nelson″>The Holy Bible, New King James Version 1982 by Thomas Nelson″>John 3:13 that no one (save for Christ) has climbed into heaven.
  4. ″The Scriptures cannot be broken,″ we are also told in verse 35.
  5. If He referred to them as gods, then it was to them that the word of God was delivered (and the Scripture cannot be broken), New King James Version (NKJV) The Holy Bible, New King James Version 1982 by Thomas Nelson″>John 10:35).
  6. New King James Version (NKJV) The Holy Bible, New King James Version 1982 by Thomas Nelson″>John 10:35).

When there appears to be a conflict in Scripture, further investigation is required to ensure that we are accurately understanding any ambiguous sections.It is necessary to examine the circumstances in which Christ delivered this speech to the thief on the cross in order to fully understand it.When the thief begged, ″Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom,″ Jesus replied, ″I will remember you.″ (42 Then he turned to Jesus and pleaded, ″Lord, keep me in mind when You come into Your kingdom.″ Luke 23:42 New King James Version (NKJV) The Holy Bible, New King James Version 1982 by Thomas Nelson″>The Holy Bible, New King James Version″>Luke 23:42.

  1. As a result, it is clear that the term ″Paradise″ in verse 43 refers to the Kingdom of God.

The broader context of what the Bible teaches

  1. The Bible’s overall context informs us that the term ″Kingdom″ refers to the reign of God’s authority over the entire planet, with Jesus Christ as its ruler and head of state.
  2. Who will be the first to enter that Kingdom?
  3. When Christ returns, the ″sheep″ of His flock will inherit the Kingdom (Matthew 25:31-46).
  4. ″When the Son of Man appears in His majesty, with all of the holy angels accompanying Him, He will sit on the throne of His glory,″ says the Bible.
  5. 32 Eventually, all of the nations will be brought before Him, and He will separate them one from another, much like a shepherd separates his sheep from his goats.
  6. 33 And He will place the sheep on His right hand, while the goats will be placed on His left.

34 ″Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom that has been prepared for you from the beginning of time,″ the King will say to them at His right side.The Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) was published in 1982 by Thomas Nelson as the New King James Version (NKJV) ″>Matthew 25:31-34; Mark 12:27-28 Once this occurs, the kingdom and dominion of the earth, as well as the greatness of all the kingdoms beneath the entire sky, will be handed to the people, who are the saints of the Most High.’His kingdom is an everlasting reign, and all dominions will serve and obey Him,’ says the Bible.

  1. The Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) was published in 1982 by Thomas Nelson as the New King James Version (NKJV) ″Daniel 7:27 (KJV).
  2. Human mortal creatures will not be able to inherit that Kingdom because they must be transformed from flesh to spirit, which will occur at the resurrection of the just (50).
  3. It is my conviction, friends, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and that corruption cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and vice versa.
  4. 51 Behold, I reveal a revelation to you: we will not all sleep, but we will all be transformed— 52 in a split second, in the blink of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet.

Because the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be resurrected incorruptible, and we will be changed as a result of that.53 Due to the fact that this corruptible must become incorruptible, and this mortal must become eternal.The Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) was published in 1982 by Thomas Nelson as the New King James Version (NKJV).

″>1 Corinthians 15:50-53; 1 Corinthians 15:50-53).The resurrection of the righteous marks the completion of the process of conversion.In order to be saved, one must first repent of his or her sins, be baptized, and be given the gift of the Holy Spirit (38).″Repent, and let everyone of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,″ Peter instructed them.As a result, the promise is made to you and your children, as well as to everyone else who is far away, as many as the Lord our God will call.″ The Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) was published in 1982 by Thomas Nelson as the New King James Version (NKJV) ″Acts 2:38-39; 14:13-14 When the apostles in Jerusalem learned that the people of Samaria had accepted the word of God, they dispatched Peter and John to see them, 15 who, upon their arrival, prayed for them in order that they would receive the Holy Spirit.

  • 16 For, as of yet, He had not descended upon any of the group.
  • This was their first and only baptism, which was in the name of our Lord Jesus.
  • 17 Then they placed their hands on them, and they were filled with the Holy Ghost.
  • The Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) was published in 1982 by Thomas Nelson as the New King James Version (NKJV) ″>8:14-17).
  • According to biblical teaching, conversion does not occur instantly and consists of more than a mere ″deathbed repentance.″ Despite the fact that the thief on the cross acknowledged that he had received the proper payment for his acts (40), But his counterpart scolded him, saying: ″Do you not even fear God, considering as how you are both under the same condemnation?″ 41 And we are rightfully so, for we obtain the proper recompense for our acts; but, this Man has done nothing wrong.″ The Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) was published in 1982 by Thomas Nelson as the New King James Version (NKJV) ″Because of this (see Luke 23:40-41), he did not have the chance to live a life of obedience to God, which is an important component of the conversion process.
  • The thief just made a kind remark about Jesus Christ, and in response, Christ comforted him by telling him about his destiny in the paradise of the Kingdom of Heaven.

What did Christ mean, “today”?

  1. Is it possible that Jesus Himself entered ″Paradise″ on that day?
  2. According to His own words, He remained in the grave for the following three days and three nights after that.
  3. In addition, we must address the following question: Is it possible that Jesus Himself entered ″Paradise″ on that day?
  4. It was revealed by His own words that He was buried for the following three days and three nights (41).
  5. Because, just as Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of the giant fish, so will the Son of Man spend three days and three nights in the center of the earth, according to the Scriptures.
  6. The Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) was published in 1982 by Thomas Nelson as the New King James Version (NKJV).

″>Matthew 12:40 (New International Version).His soul was imprisoned in Sheol, or the grave, for a brief length of time before being raised from the dead.″For You will not abandon my soul to the depths of Sheol, nor will You permit Your Holy One to be corrupted.″ (10 Because You will not abandon my soul to the depths of Sheol, nor will You allow Your Holy One to be corrupted.

A misplaced comma changes the meaning

  1. In light of this, what is the most accurate way to interpret Christ’s statement to the thief on the cross?
  2. Following everything we’ve learned thus far, the New King James Version states, ″I assure you that you shall be with Me in Paradise on this day.″ The Greek text of the Scriptures, on the other hand, is devoid of punctuation.
  3. When translators are attempting to smooth out the text, they will insert punctuation.
  4. In this instance, they misplaced the comma as a result of a lack of comprehension.
  5. If the comma after ″you″ is simply deleted and a period is instead inserted after ″today,″ the meaning of the sentence changes dramatically—and is consistent with the rest of the Bible.
  6. Following that, the text would read, ″Without a doubt, I say to you today, you will be with Me in Paradise.″ On the day they were about to die, Christ gave the thief the absolute promise that he would (at some point, but not that day) be with Christ in His Father’s Kingdom.

Who Was With Jesus When He Was On The Cross?

On the cross, who was there to witness Jesus’ death?

Before the Cross

  1. The only one who raised his sword when the Jewish leaders arrived heavily armed to arrest Jesus while He was still in the Garden of Gethsemane was Peter, even though Jesus told him to put it down, and ″then those who had seized Jesus led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered″ (Matt 26:57), but ″Peter was following him at a distance, until he reached the courtyard of the high priest, and (Matt 26:58).
  2. I don’t want to be unjust to Peter, so please bear with me.
  3. I’d definitely keep a safe distance from Him and deny Him three times (or more?) out of fear of being captured and punished in the same manner as Jesus.
  4. At the very least, Peter stayed near and ran the danger of being identified, but in the end, he rejected Jesus three times and withdrew from the scene out of humiliation and regret (Matt 26:69-74).
  5. When ″Peter remembered Jesus’ words, ″Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times,″ he was moved to tears.
  6. And he went out into the street and sobbed hard.″ (See Matthew 26:75.) Everyone had abandoned Jesus at this point, exactly as Zechariah the Prophet predicted: ″Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, against the one who stands beside me,″ says the LORD of hosts.

In the words of Zechariah, ″Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; I will turn my hand against the young ones,″ Jesus’ followers were dispersed and fled for their lives, just as the sheep did.The conclusion that may be drawn from all of these Scriptures is that Jesus had Peter ″at a distance,″ as well as His mother, Mary, and a very young disciple named John, with Him at the cross.

At the Cross

  1. In Matthew 27:56, the Bible does not say whether or not ″the mother of James and Joseph, as well as the mother of the sons of Zebedee″ (Matt 27:56) were there when Jesus died.
  2. Considering that they were present after Jesus’ death, it would be logical to assume that they were at or near the cross.
  3. As a result of this, we know that the Apostle-to-be John was there throughout the crucifixion, as was Jesus’ mother.
  4. Just before Jesus died, ″Jesus looked around to saw his mother and a disciple whom he loved standing close and he remarked to his mother,″ ″Woman, behold your son!″ Then he turned to the disciple and said, ″Look, here’s your mother!″ As a result, the disciple moved her to his own house from that point on.″ (See also John 19:26–27.) This is, without a doubt, the Apostle John.
  5. Finally, ″standing beside the crucifixion of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene,″ according to the Gospel of Matthew (John 19:25).
  6. So it’s Jesus’ mother, John, Mary the wife of Clopas, Mary Magdalene, and maybe even the mother of James and Joseph, as well as the mother of Zebedee’s kids, who happened to be James and John, who are mentioned in the Bible.

Others at the Cross

  1. As of now, we know that ″Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene″ were present at the cross (John 19:25), as were Jesus’ mother and brother John (John 19:26-27), as well as Mary the wife of Clopas, Mary Magdalene, and possibly even the mother of James and Joseph and the mother of the sons of Zebedee, but we must also remember that the Jewish leadership was present, at least for a short period of time.
  2. There were also a large number of onlookers who, just a week before, had been praising Him and exclaiming, ″Hosanna in the highest″ (Matt 21:9), but had now switched to ″crucify Him!″ Aside from that, there were Roman troops in attendance, and these guys were expert assassins.
  3. Every shred of doubt was removed when they pronounced Him legally dead (John 19:33).
  4. ″When the centurion and others who were with him, who were keeping watch over Jesus, witnessed the earthquake and what happened, they were overcome with amazement and said, ″Truly, this was the Son of God,″ according to the Bible.
  5. According to Matthew 27:54, there were certain Romans who believed that Jesus was the Son of God, as they were there at the crucifixion and witnessed it firsthand.
  6. We also know that there were at least two convicts in the centre of the cross where Jesus was crucified.

″But the other criminal scolded him,″ says Luke 23:39 of one of the thief’s who had abused Jesus.″Don’t you have any fear of God,″ he said, referring to the fact that they were both serving the same sentence.We are being punished fairly, since we are receiving the consequences of our actions.

  1. ″However, this individual has done nothing wrong″ (Luke 23:40-41).
  2. When the thief realized what had happened, he pleaded, ″Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.″ ″Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise,″ Jesus said in response to his question (Luke 23:42-43).

Conclusion

  1. However, only those who have repented and placed their confidence in Christ have been exonerated from God’s wrath via Jesus’ death.
  2. Room 3:10-12 teaches that none are good or seek after God, and that all fall far short of God’s glory (Rom 3:23; 6:23a).
  3. Because we all need help, God provides it in the form of a free gift of eternal life (Rom 6:23b), which is provided without charge (Eph 2:8-9) for all who humble themselves before Him.

Impenitent thief – Wikipedia

  1. The impenitent thief is a guy who appears in the New Testament narrative of Jesus’ crucifixion and is described as such.
  2. Two criminal bandits are executed on the cross with Jesus, according to the Gospel story.
  3. Mocking him is recorded in the first two Gospels (Matthew and Mark), in which they both join the rest of the mob.
  4. One taunts Jesus for not rescuing himself and them, while the other (known as the contrite thief) begs for compassion, according to the version of the Gospel of Luke.
  5. In apocryphal literature, the impenitent thief is given the name Gestas, which first comes in the Gospel of Nicodemus, and his accomplice is given the name Dismas, which first appears in the Gospel of Nicodemus.
  6. It is believed by Christian tradition that Gestas was crucified to the left of Jesus and that Dismas was crucified to the right of Jesus on the cross.

The impenitent thief’s name is Gesmas, according to Jacobus de Voragine’s Golden Legend, which may be found here.The impenitent thief is frequently referred to as the ″bad thief,″ in contrast to the ″good thief,″ since he does not repent of his actions.The apocryphal Arabic Infancy Gospel refers to Gestas and Dismas as Dumachus and Titus, respectively, in reference to their respective names in the Bible.

  1. Traditional accounts, such as those in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem The Golden Legend, claim that Dumachus was one of a band of thieves that assaulted Saint Joseph and the Holy Family on their journey into Egypt in the year 430.

New Testament narrative

  1. Most scholars agree that the Gospel of Mark has the earliest version of the account, which is generally assumed to have been written about AD 70.
  2. He claims that Jesus was crucified with two bandits, one on either side of him, according to the author.
  3. Passersby and chief priests make fun of Jesus for claiming to be the Messiah while failing to rescue himself, and the two criminals who were crucified with him participate in the fun.
  4. There is a reference to the Book of Isaiah in several verses, which is seen as a fulfillment of prophesy (Isaiah 53:12: ″And he.
  5. was numbered with the transgressors″).
  6. The Gospel of Matthew, which was written about the year 85, repeats many of the same points.

The specifics are different in the Gospel of Luke version, which takes place between verses 80 and 90: one of the bandits rebukes the other for insulting Jesus, and asks Jesus to remember him ″when you come into your kingdom.″ Jesus responds by assuring him that he would be with him in Paradise the following day, on the same day.This bandit is known as the repentant thief, while the other is known as the impenitent thief, according to tradition.The Gospel of John, which is considered to have been written about AD 90–95, also claims that Jesus was crucified alongside two others, but this story does not provide any description of them or any evidence that they spoke.

  • One of two unidentified thieves who appear in Luke’s account of Jesus’ execution in the New Testament, the Penitent Thief is also referred to as the Good Thief, Wise Thief, Grateful Thief, or the Thief on the Cross, among other titles. His request to Jesus, according to the Gospel of Luke, is for Jesus to ″remember him″ when he arrives at his kingdom. Using the persona of the impenitent thief, the other challenges Jesus to redeem himself as well as to demonstrate to both of them that he is the Messiah. In the Catholic Church, he is formally revered as a saint. Because of the old Christian belief that Christ (and the penitent thief) were crucified and died exactly on the anniversary of Christ’s incarnation, the Roman Martyrology puts his memorial on March 25, along with the Feast of the Annunciation, on that day. In the Gospel of Nicodemus, he is given the name Dismas, and he is commonly referred to as Saint Dismas in the Catholic tradition (sometimes Dysmas
  • in Spanish and Portuguese, Dimas). Various names have been granted by other traditions: Among other names, he is known by the Coptic Orthodox tradition and the Narrative of Joseph of Arimathea as Demas
  • in the Codex Colbertinus, he is known by the names Zoatham and Zoathan
  • in the Arabic Infancy Gospel, he is known by the name Titus
  • and in Russian Orthodox tradition, he is known by the name Rakh (Russian: аx).

Gospel of Luke

Narrative

  1. The Russian Orthodox icon of The Good Thief in Paradise, which dates back to the 16th century and is housed in the Kremlin.
  2. When two men were crucified at the same time as Jesus, one on each side of him, the Gospel of Mark interprets this as fulfillment of the prophesy of Isaiah 53:12, which is found in the Old Testament (″And he was numbered with the transgressors″).
  3. According to the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, respectively, both of the thieves ridiculed Jesus; the Gospel of Luke, on the other hand, states: 39 Suddenly, one of the prisoners who was hanging there sneered at Jesus and said, ″Is it possible that you are not the Messiah?
  4. Save yourself and us from ourselves.″ 40 The other, on the other hand, rebuked him and asked in response, ″Do you have no fear of God, knowing that you are also subject to the same punishment?
  5. 41 And, certainly, we have been found guilty and sentenced appropriately, as the punishment we got is proportionate to our misdeeds; but, this individual has committed no crime.″ When Jesus entered the kingdom, he prayed, ″Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.″ 43 Then he said, ″Amen, I tell to you, today you will be with me in Paradise,″ and he was taken to Paradise.
  6. The apparent conflict between Luke’s narrative and those of Mark and Matthew has been the subject of several attempts to reconcile them.
See also:  Why Did Jesus Have To Die For Our Sins Catholic

It has been proposed by Augustine of Hippo that the writers of Mark and Matthew used a figure of speech in order to make their writings more concise.The plural was substituted for the singular.In later commentaries, such as those by Frederic Farrar, the difference between the Greek words used has been highlighted: ″The two first Synoptists tell us that both the robbers reproached Jesus (v), but we learn from St Luke that only one of them used injurious and insulting language against Him (v).″

″Amen. today. in paradise″

  1. It is disputed in a minority of versions and commentaries that the phrase ″Amen, I say to you, today you will be in paradise″ found in Luke 23:43 (″v légo soi légo sémeron met″ ″Amen, I say to you, today you will be in paradise″) is the correct translation of the phrase ″Amen, I say to you, today you will be in paradise.″ Since no punctuation appears in the Greek manuscripts, attribution of the adverb ″today″ to the verb ″be,″ as in ″Amen I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise″ (the majority view), or to the verb ″say,″ as in ″Amen I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise″ (the minority view), is dependent on an understanding of word order conventions in Koine Greek.
  2. The bulk of ancient Bible translations likewise adhere to the majority viewpoint, with only the Curetonian Gospels in the Aramaic language providing considerable evidence in support of the minority viewpoint.
  3. Therefore, some prayers acknowledge that the good thief was the first and the only person ever to be confirmed as a saint—that is, a person acknowledged to be in Paradise after death—by both the Bible and Jesus himself.
  4. According to Thomas Aquinas, the words of the Lord (This day in paradise) must be understood not in the context of an earthly or physical paradise, but in the context of that spiritual paradise in which all who are in the enjoyment of the divine glory may be, or be said to be, present.
  5. With regard to his physical location in heaven, it is said that the thief accompanied Jesus to heaven in order to be with Christ, as it was said to him: ″Thou shalt be with Me in Paradise″; but as to his reward, it is also said that he was in Paradise because he there tasted and enjoyed the divinity of Christ, along with the other saints.

Unnamed

  1. Only one of the offenders is described as repentant in the Gospel of Luke, and that person is not identified in the gospel.
  2. Augustine of Hippo does not identify the thief, but he speculates that he may have been baptized at some time in his life.
  3. Following tradition, Jesus was crucified to his right, and the other thief was crucified to his left, with the Good Thief on his right.
  4. As a result, portrayals of Jesus’ crucifixion frequently depict Jesus’ head cocked to the right, indicating his acceptance of the Good Thief’s role.
  5. Crucifixes and crosses are typically made with three bars in the Russian Orthodox Church: the top bar, which represents the titulus (the inscription that Pontius Pilate wrote and was nailed above Jesus’ head); the longer crossbar, which represents the handrest, to which Jesus’ feet were nailed; and a slanted bar at the bottom, which represents the footrest to which Jesus’ feet were nailed.
  6. The footrest is tilted, with one footrest pointing up towards the Good Thief and the other footrest pointing down towards the Other Thief.

According to John Chrysostom, the thief lived in the wilderness and robbed or murdered everyone who was unfortunate enough to come into contact with him.According to Pope Gregory I, he was ″guilty of blood, even his brother’s blood″ since he ″was guilty of blood″ (fratricide).

Named

″Dismas″

  1. Luke’s unidentified repentant thief was eventually given the name Dismas in an early Greek recension of the Acta Pilati and the Latin Gospel of Nicodemus, both of which are thought to have been written in the late fourth century and contain sections of Luke’s gospel.
  2. It is possible that the name ″Dismas″ was derived from a Greek word that meant ″sunset″ or ″death.″ Gestas is the name of the other thief, according to the story.
  3. It is recorded in Syriac Infancy Gospel’s Life of the Good Thief (Histoire du Bon Larron, French 1868, English 1882) that the thief addressed Jesus, the child: ″O most blessed of children, if ever a time should come when I shall crave Thy Mercy, remember me and forget not what has passed this day,″ according to Augustine of Hippo, the thief said to Jesus, the child.
  4. The Holy Family was ″exhausted and powerless,″ according to Anne Catherine Emmerich, and it was under these conditions that the Holy Family encountered Dismas, according to Augustine of Hippo and Peter Damian.
  5. Coptic literature considers Pope Theophilus of Alexandria’s Homily on the Crucifixion and the Good Thief, written between 385 and 412, to be a classic.

″Demas″

He is known by the name Demas in Coptic Orthodoxy. In the Narrative of Joseph of Arimathea, he is referred to by the name ″Joseph of Arimathea.″

″Titus″

The apocryphal Syriac Infancy Gospel refers to the two thieves as Titus and Dumachus, and it includes a story of how Titus (the good one) prevented the other criminals in his company from stealing Mary and Joseph as they were on their way to Egypt during their escape.

″Rakh″

As is customary in Russian folklore, the name of the Good Thief is ″Rakh″ (Russian: аx).

Sainthood

  1. On the 25th of March, the Catholic Church commemorates the Good Thief.
  2. The following item is found in the Roman Martyrology: ″Commemoration of the holy thief in Jerusalem who confessed to Christ and was canonized by Jesus himself on the cross at that moment, and who merited to hear from him: ‘Today you will be with me in Paradise.’″ A number of places, notably San Dimas, California, are named after him as a result of his contributions.
  3. Additionally, parish churches bearing his name have been established, such as the Church of the Good Thief in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, which was constructed by convicts from the nearby Kingston Penitentiary, Saint Dismas Church in Waukegan, Illinois, the Old Catholic Parish of St Dismas in Coseley, and the Church of St.
  4. Dismas, the Good Thief, which is located at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York.
  5. Along with the crucifixion, he is commemorated on Good Friday, according to the Eastern Orthodox Church.
  6. In his honor, the Synaxarion gives the following couplet: Eden’s closed gates have been opened wide by the Thief, who has entered the key, ″Remember me,″ into the lock.

In a traditional Eastern Orthodox prayer spoken before receiving the eucharist, he is commemorated: ″I will not tell of Thy Mystery to Thine adversaries, nor will I kiss Thee as Judas did; but I will confess Thee as the thief: Remember me, O Lord, in Thy Kingdom,″ the prayer says.

Art

  1. In medieval art, St Dismas is frequently shown as following Jesus at the Harrowing of Hell, which is described in 1 Peter 3:19–20 and the Apostles’ Creed, among other places (though neither text mentions the thief).
  2. One of the hymns of Good Friday in the Eastern Orthodox Church is named ″The Good Thief″ (or ″The Wise Thief,″ Church Slavonic: ″Razboinika blagorazumnago″), and it tells the story of how Christ awarded Dismas Paradise.
  3. Several versions of this hymn are used in the Russian Orthodox Church, and it is considered to be one of the highlights of the Matins service on the Feast of the Transfiguration.
  4. In Samuel Beckett’s play Waiting for Godot, the major characters Vladimir and Estragon briefly debate the discrepancies between the Four Evangelists’ portrayals of the repentant and impenitent thieves, which they believe to be due to a misunderstanding of the Bible.
  5. Vladimir comes to the conclusion that since only Luke claims that one of the two was rescued, ″the two of them must have been damnedwhy believe him rather than the others?″ he concludes.

In popular culture

The thief appears in Christian popular music, like in the 1995 song ″Thief″ by Christian rock band Third Day, and in the name of the Christian rock band Dizmas, among other places.In Sydney Carter’s controversial song ″Friday Morning,″ the burglar also serves as the narrator, who tells the story of the theft.Once We Were Slaves, directed by Dallas Jenkins and starring Stelio Savante, is a critically acclaimed film about slavery that was released on Good Friday.
