The Good Thief on the Cross is a name given in the Gospel of Luke to the thief who was crucified, according to tradition, at the right hand of Christ. In Luke's account the thief repents and is promised entrance into paradise. This thief and his literary foil (the unrepentant thief at Christ's left) were fruitful inspiration for many Syriac authors and poets.
