mal - ḗ - fak´tẽr ( κακοποιός , kakopoiós , "a bad doer," i.e. "evildoer," "criminal"; κακοῦργος , kakoúrgos , "a wrongdoer"): The former occurs in John 18:30 the King James Version, the latter, which is the stronger term, in Luke 23:32 , Luke 23:39 . The former describes the subject as doing or making evil, the latter as creating or originating the bad, and hence, designates the more energetic, aggressive, initiating type of criminality.
