Matthew 27:38

27:38 Then two outlaws were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.

Luke 23:32-33

23:32 Two other criminals ¹  were also led away to be executed with him. 23:33 So ²  when they came to the place that is called “The Skull,” ³  they crucified ⁴  him there, along with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.

John 19:18

19:18 There they ⁵  crucified ⁶  him along with two others, ⁷  one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.

[23:32]  ¹ tc The text reads either “two other criminals” or “others, two criminals.” The first reading (found in Ì⁷⁵ א B) could be read as describing Jesus as a criminal, while the second (found in A C D L W Θ Ψ 070 0250 Ë^1,13 33 Ï) looks like an attempt to prevent this identification. The first reading, more difficult to explain from the other, is likely original.

[23:33]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion of the preceding material.

[23:33]  ³ sn The place that is called ‘The Skull’ (known as Golgotha in Aramaic, cf. John 19:17) is north and just outside of Jerusalem. The hill on which it is located protruded much like a skull, giving the place its name. The Latin word for Greek κρανίον (kranion) is calvaria, from which the English word “Calvary” derives (cf. Luke 23:33 in the KJV).

[23:33]  ⁴ sn See the note on crucify in 23:21.

[19:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “where they.” This is a continuation of the previous verse in Greek, but contemporary English style tends toward shorter sentences. A literal translation would result in a lengthy and awkward English sentence.

[19:18]  ⁶ sn See the note on Crucify in 19:6.

[19:18]  ⁷ tn Grk “and with him two others.”
