No, Jesus was considered a teacher, a rabbi, and to Christians, the messiah and the son of God. He did have devoted followers, however, and the first twelve of them were called the apostles. The word comes from Latin and Greek sources, and means "a person who is sent out." The apostles were sent out to spread the message about Jesus.
HERE IS the reference to Matthias:
(Acts 1:23-26) "23 So they proposed two, Joseph called Bar′sab·bas, who was also called Justus, and Mat·thi′as. 24 Then they prayed and said: "You, O Jehovah, who know the hearts of all, designate which one of these two men you have chosen 25 to take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas deviated to go to his own place." 26 So they cast lots over them, and the lot fell to Mat·thi′as, and he was counted along with the apostles . ."
Yes; Judas Iscariot was an apostle or disciple chosen by Jesus, as he said:
Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? (John 6.70)
yes he was one of the 12 apostles of Jesus.
Judas, the apostle who betrayed Our Lord, is not a saint.
Judas Iscariot
Judas Isacriot was an apostle but is not a saint. Therefore, no feast day.
Nicola Sementovsky-Kurilo assigns to the apostle Judas Thaddeus the zodiac sign Taurus.
Judas, the apostle who betrayed Our Lord, is not a saint and, therefore, has no feast day.
His name was Jude (or Judas (not Judas Iscariat, though!))
All but Judas was saved.
Matthias was chosen by the disciples to replace Judas (Acts 1:26).
It was Judas Iscariot.
It was always Judas. The other apostle named Jude actually has the same name in the Greek original. Why the translators created the distinction is open to interpretation.
Judas Iscariot was an Apostle, and the Romans knew where to find Jesus because of Judas.
Judas was treasurer for the apostles.
