New King James Version

38 Then two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left.

read Mark 15:27 mentions 2 thieves / Greek word is lests , g 3027 '

Luke 23:39-41 mentions 2 Malefactors / Kakourgos and means evil doers .

for a total 4 + Jesus = 5 to die on crosses .

The two passages are referring to the same two people, not four different ones.

Thieves ARE evildoers.

These thieves were guilty of capital crimes, else they wouldn't have been being put to death.

why then is thieves and malefactor use 2 different Greek words .

thieves / is the Greek word lestes

malefactor is the Greek word kakovrgos and it means , evil doer .

Just because a different word is used doesn't mean it's talking about different people.

Again: thieves are evildoers.
