Matthew 27:38

Matthew 27:38

After the words “one on the right” and “one on the left” the Old Latin codex Colbertinus (it^c) supplies names for the two robbers who were crucified with Jesus: nomine Zoatham and nomine Camma respectively. ²⁷ (See also the comment on Lk 23.32.)

²⁷ For other names that have been given to the two robbers, see the present writer’s article, “Names for the Nameless in the New Testament; a Study in the Growth of Christian Tradition,” in Kyriakon: Festschrift Johannes Quasten, edited by Patrick Granfield and Josef A. Jungmann (Münster/W., 1970), pp. 89 ff., reprinted (with additions) in Metzger, New Testament Studies (Leiden, 1980), pp. 33 ff.
