Thaddaeus, aka Lebbaeus, aka Jude, aka Judas the son of James, was one of Jesus' chosen twelve (Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18). It was Thaddaeus [whom John calls "Judas (not Iscariot)"] who asked Jesus how He would reveal Himself to His followers and not to the world, in John 14:22. The names "Thaddaeus" and "Lebbaeus" are Aramaic; both mean "beloved" or "dear to the heart." "Judas" and "Jude" are derived from the Hebrew "Judah," meaning "praise."
