Two others also
This phrase introduces the presence of additional individuals who are part of the narrative. The Greek word for "others" (ἕτερος, heteros) implies a distinction from Jesus, yet they share a common fate. Historically, crucifixion was a common Roman method of execution for criminals and rebels, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. The inclusion of "two others" highlights the fulfillment of prophecy, as Isaiah 53:12 foretells that the Messiah would be "numbered with the transgressors."

who were criminals
The term "criminals" (κακοῦργος, kakourgos) in Greek refers to those who commit evil deeds or are lawbreakers. This underscores the stark contrast between Jesus, who was sinless, and those who were justly condemned. Theologically, this juxtaposition serves to highlight the innocence of Christ and His willingness to be associated with sinners, embodying the essence of His redemptive mission.

were led away
The phrase "were led away" (ἀπάγω, apagō) suggests a passive submission to the events unfolding. This reflects the Roman practice of leading condemned individuals to the place of execution, often through public streets as a form of humiliation. It also mirrors the prophetic imagery of the Suffering Servant in Isaiah 53:7, who "was led like a lamb to the slaughter."

to be executed
The act of execution, specifically crucifixion, was a brutal and public form of capital punishment reserved for the most heinous offenders. The Greek term used here (ἀναιρέω, anaireō) conveys the idea of taking away life. Historically, this method was intended to serve as a deterrent and a display of Roman authority. For Jesus, this execution was not just a physical death but a spiritual sacrifice, fulfilling His role as the Lamb of God.

with Him
The phrase "with Him" (σὺν αὐτῷ, syn autō) signifies the shared experience of crucifixion between Jesus and the criminals. This association fulfills the prophecy of being "numbered with the transgressors" and emphasizes the inclusivity of Christ's sacrifice. It serves as a profound reminder that Jesus' mission was to offer salvation to all, regardless of their past, and to bring hope even in the darkest circumstances.

Verse 32. - And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. Many commentators suppose that these, were companions of that Bar-Abbas the robber who had just been released. They were not ordinary thieves, but belonged to those companies of brigands, or revolted Jews, which in those troublous times were so numerous in Palestine.
