"But not his name."

His actual name is known only to God. He was given the name Dismas in the Gospel of Nicodemus, in the the 4th century. The name "Dismas" was adapted from a Greek word meaning "death". He is known as Titus in the Syriac Infancy Gospel.

AMAZING what one can learn if one opens his eyes.

REALLY? Let's see if that's true..

Luke 8:20 Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you."

Luke 8:21 He replied, "My mother and brothers are those who hear God's Word and obey It."

Luke 11:27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you."

Luke 11:28 He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the Word of God and obey It."

What did you learn NL?
