The Twelve ApostlesPart 4

Thaddaeus

He is referred to by different names.

In Matthew he is called, “Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus” (Matthew 10:3).

Mark simply refers to him as, “Thaddaeus” (Mark 3:18).

Luke mentions him as, “Judas the brother of James” (Luke 6:16).

John calls Him, “Judas…not Iscariot” (John 14:22).

There is little known of him from Scripture. He is the one who asked the Lord, “Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world?” (John 14:22).

Secular history tells us that he was a man of great national zeal, more interested in making Christ known to the world as a powerful King rather than a suffering Saviour. This seems to be confirmed by his question. However, secular history also records that after the ascension of Christ and the establishment of Christianity by the descent of the Holy Spirit, he preached the gospel faithfully in many parts of the known world, and that he was killed by arrows at Ararat.

He is assumed to be the writer of the Epistle of Jude.
