"Judas, (not Judas Iscariot)", apparently an apostle ( John 14:22).

"Jude of James", one of the twelve apostles ( Luke 6:16 and Acts 1:13).In most Bibles in languages other than English and French, Jude and Judas are referred to by the same name.Īside from Judas Iscariot, the New Testament mentions Jude or Judas six times, in four different contexts: Both Jude and Judas are translations of the name Ὶούδας in the Koine Greek language original text of the New Testament, which in turn is a Greek variant of Judah ( Y'hudah), a name which was common among Jews at the time. Jude is clearly distinguished from Judas Iscariot, another apostle and later the betrayer of Jesus. In some instances, he may be shown with a scroll or a book (the Epistle of Jude) or holding a carpenter's rule. Another common attribute is Jude holding an image of Jesus Christ, known as the Image of Edessa. This represents his presence at Pentecost, when he received the Holy Spirit with the other apostles. He is also often shown in icons with a flame around his head. In the Roman Catholic Church, he is the patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes. The Armenian Apostolic Church honors Thaddeus along with Saint Bartholomew as its patron saints. Most versions of the New Testament in languages other than English and French refer to Judas and Jude by the same name. Catholic writer Michal Hunt suggests that Judas Thaddaeus became known as Jude after early translators of the New Testament from Greek into English sought to distinguish him from Judas Iscariot and subsequently abbreviated his forename. He is sometimes identified with Jude, the brother of Jesus, but is clearly distinguished from Judas Iscariot, the apostle who betrayed Jesus prior to his crucifixion. He is generally identified with Thaddeus ( Greek: Θαδδαῖος Coptic: ⲑⲁⲇⲇⲉⲟⲥ Syriac/Aramaic: ܝܗܘܕܐ ܫܠܝܚܐ ), and is also variously called Jude of James, Jude Thaddaeus, Judas Thaddaeus or Lebbaeus.
