A:If Thomas was born in Galilee around the beginning of the first century, he was probably descended from Galileans who were forcibly converted to Judaism under the Maccabeans in the second century BCE.

This solidified Judah's position as a central figure in Israelite leadership, further enhanced by the prophetic promise that the Messiah would come from his lineage.
