[[Saint Augustine]] supported [[capital punishment]], [[Saint Thomas Aquinas]] supported it. Jesus was [[Crucifixion|crucified]] alongside two rebels (''gospel according to [[gospel of Mark|Mark]] and [[gospel of Matthew|Matthew]]''), and according to the ''gospel according to [[gospel of Luke|Luke]]'' one of them said that the death penalty for them as criminals was deserved as opposed to the unjust treatment of Jesus.
