The tenth apostle's name?
The article explores differences in the name of the tenth apostle in the Gospels. Thaddaeus (Matthew and Mark) and Judas son of James (Luke) refer to the same person, a common phenomenon arising from first-century naming practices.
Mark 3.13-19 (King James Version) :And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:And Simon he surnamed Peter;And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
