Talk about this article @ Wikipedia Jude or Judas (יהודה "Praise", Standard Hebrew Yəhuda, Tiberian Hebrew YəhAḏāh) was the name of several people in the New Testament. The original Greek text of the New Testament makes no difference between the names "Judah", "Judas" and "Jude", rendering them all as Ioudas; but in many English translations "Judah" is used for the Old Testament figure and the tribe named after him, "Judas" is used only for Judas Iscariot, and "Jude" for all other New Testament persons of the same name.#Judas the Zealot (Matthew 13:55; John 14:22; Acts 1:13), an apostle also called Thaddaeus or Lebbaeus (Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18); the Decretum Gelasianum lists among texts accepted in the canon the epistle of "Judas the Zealot". Also known as Saint Jude, he is the patron saint of seemingly hopeless causes in the Catholic Church.
- Judas Iscariot (Matthew 10:4; Mark 3:19);
- The Judas called "the son of James" (Luke 6:16), may be the same with the Judas surnamed Thaddaeus. The only thing recorded regarding him is in John 14:22.
- Jude Thomas, usually identified as Thomas, a brother of Jesus and James the Just. Eusebius records the fact he had two grandsons living in the time of the Emperor Domitian who shared a farm 10 acres (40,000m) in size worth 9000 pieces of silver.*The Epistle of Jude contained in the New Testament of the Bible is commonly referred to as Jude.
