He is also called '''Levi''' or '''Thaddeus''' and sometimes the name ''Jude'' is rendered as ''Judas'', but he is not to be confused with [[Judas Iscariot]], the [[Apostle Matthew]] 10:3; (also called "Levi"), or the [[Gospel Apostle Thaddeus]] of Markthe [[Apostles#The_Seventy|MarkSeventy]] 3:18; . He is referenced in the Synoptic [[Gospel of Luke|LukeGospels]] 6:16; , the [[Acts of the Apostles]], and wrote an [[Book of Jude|Actsepistle]] which is part of the [[New Testament]]. His [[feast day]] is on [[June 19]] 1:13.
The holy, glorious and all-laudable '''Apostle Jude''' was the brother of St. [[Apostle James the Just|St. James]] and son of St. [[Joseph the Betrothed|St. Joseph]], Betrothed to the [[Theotokos]]. Sometimes he is called Levi or Thaddaeus Thaddeus (some English translations call him '"Judas'"). He protested along with Simon and Hosea when the elderly Joseph wanted to leave a portion of his estate to [[Jesus]] upon his death. He was often called 'brother of James' out of humility and shame for he did not believe in Christ at first, yet St. James did.
