'Thieves' in the Bible

And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
