Question: What were the names of the two men who were crucified on each side of Jesus? One of the crucified men was promised that he would be in heaven with Jesus---who was he?
Answer: The names of the two thieves are not mentioned in the Bible, however in the apocryphal book, The Book of Nicodemus, the names are related as Dismas and Gestas. Dismas is the repentant thief who was promised he would be in heaven with Jesus.
