What is the other name of the apostle Jude?
Tradition says that Jude Thaddeus, brother of James the Just (James the Greater) was the son of Mary, a cousin of the Virgin Mary, and Cleophas. Cleophas is thought to have been the brother of Saint Joseph. Therefore he would have been a first cousin of Our Lord and, in fact, tradition tells us that Jude and Jesus were quite similar in appearance. As with many cultures today, cousins were often referred to as brothers and sisters. The Epistle of Jude has also been attributed to him, on the basis of the heading "Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James" (Jude 1:1) where "brother of James" is taken as brother of James the Just. Jude was reportedly stoned to death and then beheaded.The deaths of the apostles are not mentioned in the Bible except for Saint James whose death is mentioned in Acts chapter 12:"Now at that time, Herod the king laid hands on some of those from the church to harm them. So he executed James the brother of John with a sword."Judas, of course, committed suicide so the above statement refers only to the post-Pentecost apostles when Matthias was chosen to take his place.
Who is judes brother in the short book of Jude?
The General Epistle of Jude does not say directly whether the author was the apostle Jude or Jude, the brother of Jesus, but does say in verse 1 that his brother was named James. Verse 1 also says that the author, Jude, the 'slave' of Jesus, when a brother would naturally mention his relationship to Jesus, so this surely rules him out as the brother (or half-brother) of Jesus. Verse 17 speaks of the apostles as if the author was not one of them, so this also rules out Jude as the apostle Jude.Verse 17 also tells us that the apostles had spoken of these things beforehand, verse 18-19 speak of things that were once told about the mockers of Jude's time, while verse 3 tells us that the Christian faith was once (long ago) passed on to the saints, all of which confirm that this epistle was written during the second century, long after the apostles and the brothers of Jesus were dead.The Epistle of Jude was written pseudepigraphically, but the author carelessly failed to make clear which Jude we wanted to represent himself as, and therefore we do not know which James was supposedly his brother.
Where in the bible does it say Jude is the brother of Jesus?
There are several references in the new Testament to Jesus' brothers and sisters. Matthew 13:55 lists four brothers: James, Joseph (Joses), Simon, and Jude (Judas). Some people prefer to call them half brothers of Jesus, since God was Jesus' father. The tradition in Roman Catholic Church, which holds that Mary was a virgin her whole life, is that they were cousins of Jesus. Another possibility is that they were Joseph's children from an earlier marriage.

What was Jude famous for?
A:The General Epistle of Jude is signed as written by Jude, but we do not know the name of the actual author. He used the name Jude, but failed to tell us whether he wanted to represent himself as the apostle Jude or Jude the brother of Jesus. The problem is that Verse 1 says that the author, Jude, the 'slave' of Jesus, when a brother would naturally mention his relationship to Jesus, so this surely rules him out as the brother (or half-brother) of Jesus. Verse 17 speaks of the apostles as if the author was not one of them, so this also rules out Jude as the apostle Jude..Verse 17 also tells us that the apostles had spoken of these things beforehand, verse 18-19 speak of things that were once told about the mockers of Jude's time, while verse 3 tells us that the Christian faith was once (long ago) passed on to the saints, all of which confirm that this epistle was written during the second century, long after the apostles and the brothers of Jesus were dead. The book was clearly not written by either of the persons called Jude mentioned in the gospels, and so neither Jude wrote any book in the Bible.
