sustauroomai describes being crucified with someone, both in crucifixion scenes and in statements about an old self with Christ.

Senses in use

  1. Crucified alongside another · dominant

    In John 19:32, the aorist passive participle identifies “the other” in the clause the APB renders “who had been crucified with him.” In Matthew 27:44 and Mark 15:32, plural passive participles identify those with him who then revile him.

  2. Crucified with Christ in personal statements · common

    In Galatians 2:19, a first-person perfect passive indicative occurs in the APB clause “I have been crucified with Christ.” In Romans 6:6, a third-person aorist passive indicative occurs where the APB renders the old self as “crucified with him.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “crucified with” in Galatians 2:19 and Romans 6:6, and with clauses about persons “crucified with him” in the narrative verses. These phrases confirm the clauses' presentation rather than supply a separate definition.
