A patron is an individual or organization that provides support, typically financial, to a person, group, or cause, often in the arts, education, or charitable activities. Patrons can be crucial for artists, musicians, and nonprofits, helping them sustain their work and projects. The relationship often involves a sense of mutual benefit, where patrons may receive recognition or personal satisfaction from their support.

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.

Which disciple wrote what gospel?
"Disciple" means "a learner, follower;" so all the gospel writers were disciples of Christ.Matthew and John were also among Jesus' chosen twelve apostles; Mark and Luke were not.AnswerMatthewThis was believed by many scholars to be Matthew (Levi) the apostle or, possibly, be one of his followers. This makes sense as it is the most Jewish of the gospels (Matthew being a learned Jewish tax-collector), and contains many of Jesus' sayings, including the sermon on the mount (Matthew, as a tax collector, would have known a form of shorthand taught by hos Roman bosses).MarkMark was not one of the 12 disciples, but was identified with John Mark, a companion of Paul on his missionary journeys. Mark is also identified with (by some scholars) the yound man carrying a pitcher or water who shows the disciples the location of the 'upper room' and also the yound man who fled naked at the arrest of Jesus. This latter incident is recorded only in Mark (despite much of Mark's gospel being used by Luke and Matthew) sugesting that it is his 'signature' - his affirmation that 'I was there...'.LukeLuke never met Jesus but was a learned doctor from Antioch and probably a Greek. He was a companion of Paul on his missionary journeys. Luke set out to write two books (the second being 'Acts' - the history of the early church) after being commissioned by his patrion 'Theophilus' to research and write a systematic account. As a doctor, he was primarily concerned with the welfare of people - their healing and forgiveness. That is why in Luke we have many parables and stories not seen elsewhere in any other gospel (eg the Parable of the Good Samaritan, or the prodical Son).JohnMost scholars agree that this was written by the disciple 'whom Jesus loved' - John, brother of James and son of Zebedee, and the disciple closest to Jesus - and the only one not to have deserted him at his crucifixion. John wrote his account to show that Jesus was divine and so that 'you too may believe'.Other gospelsOther gospels, named after other dicaiples of Jesus, abound (Thomas, Philip, Peter etc) but these were not accepted into scripture for various reasons, including their reliability, historicity and providence.
