How many were crucified with Christ?

How many were crucified with Christ?

Read Matthew's and Luke's account VERY carefully for the answer:


Luke 23:32-43 CLV  Now two others also, malefactors, were led to be despatched together with Him."  (33)  And when they came away to the place called "Skull,there they crucify Him, and the malefactors, one, indeed, at the right, yet the other at the left."  (34)  Now Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they are not aware what they are doing.Now dividing His garments, they cast the lot."  (35)  And the people had stood, beholding. Now the chiefs also with them scouted, saying, "Others he saves! Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, the Chosen One!"  (36)  Yet the soldiers also scoff at Him, approaching, bringing to Him vinegar,  (37)  and saying, "If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself!"  (38)  Now there was an inscription also, inscribed over Him, in letters of Greek and Roman and Hebrew, "The King of the Jews is this."  (39)  Now one of the hanged malefactors blasphemed Him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!"  (40)  Yet answering, the other one, rebuking him, averred, "Yet you are not fearing God, seeing that you are in the same judgment!"  (41)  And we, indeed, justly, for we are getting back the deserts of what we commit, yet this One commits nothing amiss."  (42)  And he said to Jesus, "Be reminded of me, Lord, whenever Thou mayest be coming in Thy kingdom."  (43)  And Jesus said to him, "Verily, to you am I saying today, with Me shall you be in paradise." (44) And it was already about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,

Matthew 27:33-44 CLV  And, coming to the place termed "Golgotha,which is termed "Skull's Place,  (34)  they give Him wine mixed with bile to drink. And, tasting, He does not want to drink."  (35)  Now, crucifying Him, they divide His garments, casting the lot."  (36)  And, sitting, they kept Him there."  (37)  And they place above His head His charge written: "This is Jesus, the King of the Jews."  (38)  Then are being crucified together with Him two robbers, one at the right and one at the left."  (39)  Now those going by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads"  (40)  and saying, "You who are demolishing the temple and building it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, descend from the cross!"  (41)  Likewise the chief priests also, with the scribes and elders, scoffing, said,  (42)  Others he saves! Himself he can not save! If he is king of Israel, let him descend now from the cross, and we will believe on him!"  (43)  He has confidence in God. Let Him rescue him now, if He is wanting him, for he said that 'God's Son am I!'"  (44)  Now with the same, the robbers also, who are crucified together with Him, reproached Him." (45) Now from the sixth hour darkness came over the entire land till the ninth hour.

Take special note of what happened before Christ's garments were divided and after. That's an important clue as to how many were crucified with Christ.

Note also what each of the crucified ones said, that's an important clue too.

If you still can't figure it out how many were crucified, I will give the answer later.

This should hone your skills on other Bible studies.

Did God say that He "will have all mankind to be saved" or that He "will NOT have all mankind to be saved? (1Tim.2:4-6]
Did God say He IS the Saviour of all mankind, or that He "is NOT the Saviour of all mankind? (1Tim.4:10)


Well?
Are we told to "charge and teach these things" or are we told "NOT to charge and teach these things"? (1Tim.4:10,11).


Well? Are we?
