It's Luke that tells about the two criminals crucified with Jesus (23:39-43). Luke -- who was connected to the apostle Paul.
Paul -- who blasphemed at the cross. Paul -- who scoffed at Jesus' prayer for those who were putting Him to death.
Paul -- who came to believe that he deserved torture and death for his sin. Paul -- who learned to beg for Jesus' mercy.
No wonder the story is in Luke. That story of the two criminals probably really resonated with Paul.
