Yes--An apostle of Jesus Christ. (Mt 10:2,
Not much is known about Thaddaeus or Thaddeus (Mat 10:3 also known as Judas in Luke 6:16). He was the son of James and one of the 12 apostles. He was the one who asked Jesus why he would reveal himself to his followers and not to the world (John 14:22). He is also known as Jude of James, Jude Thaddaeus, and the Roman Catholics name him Saint Jude the Apostle by which he is the patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes.
The apostles are listed in the following references: Matthew 10: 1-4, Mark 3:13-19 and Luke 6: 12-16 The 12 apostles are listed there as: Peter, renamed by Jesus because of Peter's dependability ('Peter' means 'Rock'), his original name was Simon and he was a fisherman from Galilee Andrew, brother of Simon/Peter, also a fisherman, and a former disciple of John the Baptist James, son of Zebedee (also a fisherman) and the brother of John. John, the brother of James Philip from Galilee Bartholemewof Talemai - also called 'Nathaniel' Matthew - also called Levi - a tax collector Thomas - also called 'the twin' James, son of Alpheus (called 'James the less') Thaddeus - also called Jude, Judas, son of James or Lebbaeus Simon the Zealot Judas Iscariot - The disciple who later betrayed Jesus. After Jesus' crucifixion Judas hanged himself, and so he was replaced by Matthias (Acts 1: 12-26) John's goapel, unlike the others, does not give a formal list of apostles, although it does refer to the Twelve in Chapter 6 vs.67 - 71. The following nine apostles are identified by name: * Peter * Andrew (identified as Peter's brother) * the sons of Zebedee(presumably meaning John and James, though they are not named) * Philip * Nathaniel * Thomas * Judas Iscariot * Judas (not Iscariot) i.e. (Thaddeus or Jude)
Jesus' brothers are mentioned in the Bible. Matthew 12:46, Luke 8:19, and Mark 3:31 The Bible tells us that Jesus had four brothers: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas (Matthew 13:55). It also tells us that Jesus had sisters, but they are not named in the Bible. The most natural conclusion is that Jesus had actual blood half-siblings who were the children of Joseph and Mary.
Luke 6:13 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;14Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,15Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,16And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
The twelve disciples of Jesus are Peter, James (son of Zebedee), John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew (also known as Nathanael), Matthew, Thomas, James (son of Alphaeus), Thaddeus (also known as Judas, son of James), Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who later betrayed Jesus. These men were chosen to spread Jesus' teachings and play significant roles in the early Christian church.
Two. Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus and Judas identified as the 'brother of James' and also as Thaddeus.
There were three men named Judas whose lives including Jesus, two of them were Apostles. One was also known as Thaddeus and the other was Judas Iscariot. The third was Jesus' half brother. The professions of the first two are not mentioned in the Bible, but it seems likely that Jesus' brother was also a carpenter.
The real name of St. Jude is Judas, but he is also know as Thaddaeus. He is not the same Judas who betrayed Jesus, but was also an Apostle. He is called St. Jude by the Church so he is not associated with Judas Iscariot.
Yes. In addition to Judas Iscariot (who betrayed Jesus), Thaddeus was also known as Lebbaeus and "Judas the brother of James" (Luke 16:16; John 14:22, Acts 1:13).
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)
The chapter of Judas is in the new testament, its all the way to the end right next to the Apocalypse.
Judas Thaddeus, also known as Jude, was likely named a saint because he was one of Jesus' twelve apostles, known for spreading the teachings of Christianity. He is considered the patron saint of lost causes and desperate situations, and many people believe in his intercession for help in difficult circumstances.
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.
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.
Not much is known about Thaddaeus or Thaddeus (Mat 10:3 also known as Judas in Luke 6:16). He was the son of James and one of the 12 apostles. He was the one who asked Jesus why he would reveal himself to his followers and not to the world (John 14:22). He is also known as Jude of James, Jude Thaddaeus, and the Roman Catholics name him Saint Jude the Apostle by which he is the patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes.
Judas, the betrayer of Our Lord, is not a saint.
Judas son of James (Luke 6:16) was also called Thaddaeus (Mark 3:18, Matthew 10:3). But not much is known about this disciple. John 14:22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?"
