Q&A Home > J > Jude/Thaddeus There is 1 question in this category.
- When the Holy Gospel accounts of Matthew and Mark list the apostles, they include the name, "Thaddeus," but the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke omits Thaddeus and puts in its place, "Judas the son of James." Is it correct to say that they are the same person? If so, why the difference in the names?
John 14:22 says, "Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, 'Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?'" Is he referring to Thaddeus?
The Synaxarium says that on the 2nd of the month of Abib (July 9), Thaddeus departed in peace. I thought that the only apostle that was not martyred is St. John the Beloved. In the reports concerning all the other martyrs, the Synaxarium reads that the martyr, "suffered many tortures and received the crown of martyrdom." However, what the Synaxarium says about Thaddeus is that, "he suffered from the Jews and the Gentiles much humiliation and many tortures, then departed in peace." Does this mean that he was not martyred?
If not, please explain.
Where can I find more information about this apostle?
