Jude
In the Bible, "Jude" primarily refers to two significant figures. First, Jude (or Judas) is one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, specifically identified as the son of James in the New Testament (Luke 6:16; Acts 1:13). He is sometimes referred to as "Jude Thaddeus" to distinguish him from Judas Iscariot, the apostle who betrayed Jesus. Jude's name means "praised" or "thankful," deriving from the Hebrew name "Yehudah," which is linked to the tribe of Judah, one of the twelve tribes of Israel.Secondly, Jude is also the name of the author of the New Testament epistle, the Book of Jude. This short letter addresses issues of false teachings and encourages believers to contend for the faith (Jude 1:3). The epistle emphasizes the importance of maintaining doctrinal purity and warns against the dangers of ungodliness. Jude, in this context, is typically understood to be the brother of James and potentially a half-brother of Jesus (Matthew 13:55), further linking him to the early Christian community and its teachings. The name Jude, therefore, carries connotations of leadership, faithfulness, and a call to holiness within the Christian tradition.
