Some scholars suggest that this Judas is Jude the brother of Jesus, the traditional author ofJude. (Jude and Judas are variations of the same name.) This is possible if this Judas isthe brotherof James and not the son of James, since Jesus clearly has a brother named James and a brothe...
Joses (Joseph) is several times mentioned with his brother James and is mentioned alone as the son of the other Mary at the burial of Jesus (Mark 15:47). Judas, not the Iscariot, nicknamed Thaddeus and Lebbeus, was an apostle of Christ and the author of the Epistle of Jude, in which...
In the gospels, Jesus talks about money quite often but not about much on giving specifically. An often misquoted verse Luke 6:38 – Give and it shall come to you – is really not about giving but actually about judging others. However, we see giving modelled most poignantly in the sacri...
Interestingly, theGospel of Johnhas a very different version of how Peter met Jesus. His brother Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist and heard what John said about Jesus, so he brought Peter to meet him (John 1:40–42). It’s worth noting though: John is the only one who reco...

Does Jesus have a brother? Jesus' brothers and sisters The Gospel of Mark (6:3) and the Gospel of Matthew (13:55–56) mentionJames, Joseph/Joses, Judas/Jude and Simonas brothers of Jesus, the son of Mary. The same verses also mention unnamed sisters of Jesus. ...
“It will do no good,” said Jude soothingly. “I shall be the judge of that,” I snapped. Once again, she looked to her side, towards those who were, necessarily, taking control of the desperate and starving group of survivors. (The library’s store of snack food had long since ...
