= Judas. Among the apostles there were two who bore this name, (1) Judas (
Jude 1:1 ;
Matthew 13:55 ;
John 14:22 ;
Acts 1:13 ), called also Lebbaeus or Thaddaeus (
Matthew 10:3 ;
Mark 3:18 ); and (2) Judas Iscariot (
Matthew 10:4 ;
Mark 3:19 ). He who is called "the brother of James" (
Luke 6:16 ), may be the same with the Judas surnamed Lebbaeus. The only thing recorded regarding him is in
John 14:22 .
