There you have it is all I can say from these 101 translations. Thieves, robbers, outlaws, criminals, bandits, rebels, revolutionaries, insurrectionists, murderers - bad guys both!
But one became penitent on the Cross next to Christ and landed in Paradise - a prime example of unbaptized, unmerited grace!
There is hope yet for everybody ..

You may be right that King Jim was not alone in the fear and disgust at rebels and revolutionaries. A lot of the versions that called them thieves, outlaws or robbers may be direct plagiarism of KJV.The New International Versions call them "rebels against Rome" or simply "revolutionaries". The American revolution may have something to do with that preferenceSeeBiko--

So, this was what made him the symbol of American greatness?
By the way, weren't most of those factors listed present in the electoral victories of others?
