Lebbaeus
Years: 31 AD – 33 AD
Breast, the name of one of the apostles ([Mark 3:18](/mark#Mark.3.18)), called “Lebbaeus” in [Matt. 10:3](/matt#Matt.10.3), and in [Luke 6:16](/luke#Luke.6.16), “Judas the brother of James;” while John (14:22), probably referring to the same person, speaks of “Judas, not Iscariot.” These different names all designate the same person, viz., Jude or Judas, the author of the epistle.
