1. The patriarch JUDAH (Matt. 1:2-3).
2. One of the apostles, brother of James (Luke 6:16; John 14:22; Acts 1:13). Called JUDE in Jude 1; and apparently the same as “Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus” (Matt. 10:3; Mark 3:18).
3. One of the brethren of the Lord (Matt. 13:55): called JUDA in Mark 6:3.

by the Romans and his followers were dispersed (Acts 5:37).
5. One in Damascus with whom Paul lodged (Acts 9:11).
6. A “prophet” sent from Jerusalem to Antioch (Acts 15:22). See BARSABAS, No. 2.
