Yes. There are actually several people named Judas connected to Jesus.
**The son of James was named Judas(aka: Thaddeus): Luke 6:16; John 14:22; Acts 1:13
**Jesus half-brother was called Judas(Matthew13:55; Mark 6:3), but he did not become a disciple of Jesus until after Jesus' death(John 7:5). This can be seen since Jesus left the care of his mother to John, and not to his own brothers, at that point(John 19:26, 27)
**Jesus' betrayer is called specifically, Judas Iscariot.(Matthew 10:4)(Matthew 26:14-15)(John 6:71)

∙ 12y agoYes. To avoid confusion with the traitor, he is more commonly known as Thaddeus (also Lebbaeus).
Luke 6:16 - Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.
This concludes Luke's list of the names of Jesus' chosen twelve. From John 13:26 we learn that Judas Iscariot was the son of a man named Simon.
John 14:22 - Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?"

What did the disciple Nathaniel do?
Nathaniel was a disciple of Jesus Christ, but he was a more qiet of the 12 disciples, The Bible does not say that he wrote any book in the New Testament ,or for the matter did anything of importance, some one like thadeus and Bartholomew.
What was the other name of Thaddeus the disciple?
Thaddeus is usually thought of as the other name for Saint Judas (not Judas Iscariot) the disciple. Many people do not realise that there were two Judas's among the disciples - Judas Iscariot who betryed Jesus, and Saint Judas son of James. The problems of confusion surrounding St Judas meant that he became eventually known as St Jude and often called Thaddeus instead, and became the patrion saint of Lost Causes. It was quite common in those days for people to use more than one name (Jesus/Emmanuel, Simon/Peter, Matthew/Levi, Saul/Paul etc) and so this dual nomenclature is not unusual. However,some scholars do not accept that Jude was the same person as Thaddeus, relegating Thaddeus to one of the 72 'outer' crowd as opposed to the inner group of 12 disciples. Others claim that the '12' and the '72' were approximations, and there might have been 13 or even 14 disciples to take account of different names (e.g. Matthew/Levi) and Thaddeus would have been one of the 'extras', and 70-80 others rather than the 72, but this is rather far-fetched. Jewish culture bestowed great importance on numbers (12 tribes of israel etc) and so the numbers 12 and 72 (12 times half of 12) would have been very significant. So it seems that the likelihood is that Thaddeus was the other name given for Jude.
What apostle did Paul replace?
Acts 1: 26 says this: "And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles." Thus quite clearly Matthias was the replacement for Judas who was already dead before Jesus as he hanged himself in despair as recorded.
What is the main theme of the Gospel of John?
The divinity of Christ.John 20:30, 31 - And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. [NKJV]
Which disciples were killed because of religious beliefs?
Disciples or apostles? A disciple is someone who serves God and has dedicated his life to God. Many people died because of their beliefs. These include Paul,Jesus,James,Stephen and many more till this day.
Why did translators anglicize the name of one disciple named Judas but not the other one also named Judas?
The names are identical in the original and also in other modern languages. For example, in Spanish we have Judas Iscariota and San Judas Tadeo. There are some conspiracy theories about antisemitic translators trying to make Judas Iscariot seem more Jewish, although the disciples and Jesus were all Jewish. One complicating factor is that Judah, one of the 12 tribes of Israel, is also the same name as Jude and Judas. Judah in Spanish, for example, is also Judas.
Who was St. Thomas?
Thomas was the disciple that doubted Jesus resurrected. After seeing physical proof that Jesus was alive, he believed. Jesus said, "Happy are those that have not seen, but believe". However, there are a number of other saints named Thomas. If Thomas the Apostle was not who you were referring to, you will need to be more specific. There are many saints named Thomas.
Who is the disciple that lay his head on Jesus' bosom in John chapter 13 verse 23?
In the fourth gospel, this was the "disciple whom Jesus loved". We do not know who the "disciple whom Jesus loved" was meant to be. Irenaeus identified him as being John, a view that is still held by conservative Christians today, and drew the conclusion that John was the author of this gospel, which had previously been anonymous. This was speculation and, today, most scholars doubt that the author really was John.A consistent theme of John's Gospel is that Peter was always compared unfavourably with the "disciple whom Jesus loved". It seems likely that the real author of John was troubled by the reverence given to Peter, and wanted to portray him as no more than a disciple, so as to get the focus back on Jesus. He did not want to create another personality cult in place of that of Peter. By choosing an anonymous disciple, he ensured that this disciple coud not be worshipped. By calling him the "disciple whom Jesus loved" he made it clear that there was a disciple much greater than Peter, without appearing to disparage Peter. The scene in John 13:23 serves to emphasise the affection that Jesus felt for this disciple. So, the "disciple whom Jesus loved" is likely to have been no more than a literary invention.
Who was ju'das?
One of the 12 Apostles -- he betrayed Jesus ChristThe TreasurerWhat was Judas, and what office did he hold? John: "He was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein" (xii, 6).Judas was thus the first Christian treasurer. But why did Jesus, if omniscient, as claimed, select a thief for this office? Was he unable to conduct his ministry without the aid of one?see link on rightJudas Iscariot was one of the 12 disciples. He betrayed Jesus for 30 peaces of silver.AdditionallyNote that a second apostle was also named Judas but he was the son of James that was mentioned in Luke 6:16. In the Gospel of Mark he is called Thaddaeus where this was his Greek name and Judas was his Jewish name.Another answer:The New Testament makes reference to at least six men called Judas. 1. The most-often mentioned is Judas Iscariot, betrayer of Jesus. (In reference to him, scripture almost always specifies "Iscariot," or reminds the reader that he betrayed Jesus, as in Matt. 27:3 and John 18:2.) His father's name was Simon (John 13:26).2. Another apostle, also known as Thaddeus or Lebbaeus, mentioned in the answer above, whose father's name was James (Luke 6:16). John 14:22 refers to him as "Judas (not Iscariot)."3. A half-brother of Jesus (Matthew 13:55).4. A prophet surnamed Barsabas, of the church at Jerusalem (Acts 15:22)5. A Jew of the city of Damascus (Acts 9:11)6. A false messiah from Galilee (Acts 5:37)
Who was the secret disciple of Jesus?
A:John's Gospel several times mentions an un-named 'disciple whom Jesus loved' and whose anonymity could classify him as a secret disciple. the second-century Church Fathers noticed that the fourth gospels never mentioned by name the important disciple called John and therefore decided that the beloved disciple must be John. However, there is no scriptural support for this hypothesis and most modern scholars dismiss this association. Some have noted that whenever the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' is mentioned, it results in a comparison with Simon Peter, such that he is shown to be a better or more worthy disciple than Peter. This suggests that the secret disciple was no more than a literary device used by the anonymous author of John's Gospel in the early years of the second century to minimise the veneration of Saint Peter. The identity of the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' is still secret, but he probably never really existed.Answer:Joseph of Arimathea, rich member of the Sanhedrin and a righteous man. After the crucifixion, Joseph, a secret disciple of Jesus, requested the body from Pilate and laid it in his own unused tomb (Matthew 27:57-60; Mark 15:43-46; Luke 23:50-53; John 19:38-42).
Was Judas the devil?
No. Judas was just a man. The Bible does tell us, however, that at the critical moment... the Devil possessed him:"Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve." (Luke 22:3)Judas did betray Jesus, which meant that the Devil possessed him, for the Christian religion believes that the Devil possesses a sinner.Another answerIt is interesting that the most condemning gospel against Judas is that one written by John. Only in his account do we learn that Judas carried the disciples' money bag and helped himself to it, before he betrayed Jesus for a bribe of "thirty pieces of silver" and by treacherously and callously identifying him on the arrest with a kiss. Let's not forget that John was Jesus' closest friend; he was the only disciple not to desert Jesus and in retrospect he would have been the one with the biggest axe to grind against Judas. It certainly shows in his account! However, it is in Matthew's account of Judas' activities that we learn that after his betrayal, he was remorseful and gave the money back to the priests, and eventually hanged himself out of remorse.But, maybe to understand the reason for Judas' betrayal we have to look at Jesus' own words. 'Hurry and do what you must!" In John's account we see that Judas is chosen by Jesus by his giving him a piece of bread at the meal.One must then as the question, if Judas hadn't betrayed Jesus, what would have happened? There would not have been an arrest. There would not have been a trial. There wouldn't have been a Crucifixion - or a resurrection. By Judas performing this most treacherous of tasks then, we must ask the question: was he actually, even though we might find it tasteless and against all we have believed about him, actually doing God's will? It was God's will that Jesus would be crucified. It was God's will, therefore, that there had to be a trial and an arrest - and Judas was all part of that plan. And if not him, then someone else would have been in his shoes.When thinking of Judas, it is natural to think of a traitor. Traitors aim to destroy a society by murderng the monarch or colluding with an enemy. But in Judas' case the matter is highly complex, for in betraying Jesus Judas set in motion the one event that would be the salvation of humanity, and not its destruction.Let's not forget that he also repented, and we are all promised forgiveness of our sins, however bad, if we repent. Why then should we receive forgiveness and a new start, and not Judas?More than that, we hear in Matthew's gospel that after the resurrection Jesus appeared to the eleven disciples. Who was the missing disciple? Judas? Well, we are told of the same event in John's gospel and the missing discpile turns out to be Thomas.So, maybe Judas was reinstated with the others before his suicide. Maybe he received Christ's forgiveness. We just don't know. But we do know that here was a man, whether we like it or not, was, by his treacherous deed, instrumental in our own salvation and the salvation of every human who puts their trust in Jesus.Maybe, then, we should treat him less than a traitor, and more as the poor guy chosen to do the dirty work. And there, but by the grace of God, could go any one of us.
Who is the last disciple of Christ?
Define disciple first. A disciple is a follower of Jesus Christ, or more accurately, a "bond-servant" (which is a more politically correct term for a willing or voluntary slave). Therefore, the last disciple has not happened yet. Historically, John, writer of John, the letters of John, and The Revelations of Jesus Christ (Revelations) was the last of the original disciples (Apostles) living. Non-biblical account would place his death around the turn of the century, 100 a.d..
Did john in the New Testament change his name?
No. He was known as the Beloved disciple or the disciple who Jesus loved, also, In the book that he wrote about the life of Jesus ("John" or the "epistle of st. John"), He did not refer to himself as John. He always refered to himself as the disciple (or apostle) who Jesus loved or "The other disciple"(in the scene at the tomb after Jesus rose from the dead). He also wrote 1st 2nd and 3rd John, and the Book of Revelation(The last book of the bible). You might be thinking of Paul (Who wrote a lot of the new testament including 1st and 2nc Corinthians, galations, ephesians, philippians, collossions.......) His name was Saul and it was changed to paul after his conversion. Also, Peter (one of Jesus' deciples) used to be named Simon Before Jeus changed his name. And in some older versions of the bible Peter is refered to as cephus. I hope this helps. There are some good commenteries out there if you need more info.

Did Jesus command that a religion was to be named after him?
No Jesus never spoke of a religion, but it is more of a relation with god.
What was the other name of Thaddeus the disciple?
Thaddeus is usually thought of as the other name for Saint Judas (not Judas Iscariot) the disciple. Many people do not realise that there were two Judas's among the disciples - Judas Iscariot who betryed Jesus, and Saint Judas son of James. The problems of confusion surrounding St Judas meant that he became eventually known as St Jude and often called Thaddeus instead, and became the patrion saint of Lost Causes. It was quite common in those days for people to use more than one name (Jesus/Emmanuel, Simon/Peter, Matthew/Levi, Saul/Paul etc) and so this dual nomenclature is not unusual. However,some scholars do not accept that Jude was the same person as Thaddeus, relegating Thaddeus to one of the 72 'outer' crowd as opposed to the inner group of 12 disciples. Others claim that the '12' and the '72' were approximations, and there might have been 13 or even 14 disciples to take account of different names (e.g. Matthew/Levi) and Thaddeus would have been one of the 'extras', and 70-80 others rather than the 72, but this is rather far-fetched. Jewish culture bestowed great importance on numbers (12 tribes of israel etc) and so the numbers 12 and 72 (12 times half of 12) would have been very significant. So it seems that the likelihood is that Thaddeus was the other name given for Jude.
What did Peter the disciple of Jesus do to betray Jesus?
Judas Iscariot betrayed jesus for 30 pieces of silver (about a month's wages for a non-skilled worker). He basically told the ruling council of the Temple, and the priests, where he could be found so he could be arrested in secret. This was to prevent his many supporters from rioting as many regarded him as the promised messiah. Note there were 2 Judases in the diciples (the other being Judas, son of Alpheus) and so it was Judas Iscariot who was the betayer. Peter didn't betray Jesus but he did deny ever knowing him (3 times) at his trial, to save his own skin. However, after the resurrection, Jesus forgave him and reinstated him as leader of the disciples. Peter was his supporter. ANOTHER ANSWER: Directly; Judas. Indirectly; Peter and all of Jesus' disciples abandoned and betrayed Him when they "denied" knowing Him; fearing the Jews more than their Master. Peter denied Him, directly, three times... the other disciples, running away, denied Him through their cowardly, unconverted, carnal minded, totally human reaction to the terrifying circumstances.
