- Matthew 27:38–44
Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right hand and the other on His left.
Commentary on Matthew 27:38–441 voice
Two thieves - ΛῃϚαι, robbers, or cutthroats: men who had committed robbery and murder; for it does not appear that persons were crucified for robbery only. Thus was our Lord numbered (his name enrolled, placed as it were in the death warrant) with transgressors, according to the prophetic declaration, Isa 53:12; and the Jews placed him between these two, perhaps to intimate that he was the worst felon of the three.

- Luke 23:32–39
Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.
Commentary on Luke 23:32–391 voice
Two other malefactors - Ἑτεροι δυο κακουργοι, should certainly be translated two others, malefactors, as in the Bibles published by the King’s printer, Edinburgh. As it now stands in the text, it seems to intimate that our blessed Lord was also a malefactor.
