Matthew 27:38. Then. Luke (Luke 23:32) tells us that the two robbers were led out with Him.

Two robbers. Probably associates of Barabbas, and hence placed on either side of Jesus, who had taken the punishment due to Barabbas. This proceeding carries out the mockery implied in the title; these two representing the subjects of ‘the King of the Jews.' The usual punishment for robbery was crucifixion.
