Who is Jude brother of James
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ:
To the twelve tribes dispersed abroad.
Greetings.
Which James is this?
2 and he executed James, John’s brother, with the sword.
So it is not John’s brother
55 Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
Jude is short for Judas
Can any body think of a reason Judas would go by Jude?
So Jude the half brother of Jesus.
Wonder how that was growing up?
So why is this a redemption story?
3 So his brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea so that your disciples can see your works that you are doing. 4 For no one does anything in secret while he’s seeking public recognition. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.” 5 (For not even his brothers believed in him.)
Jesus brothers did not believe in Him.
Jude is one to Jesus brothers and how does he introduce himself.
