Judas

Judas (יהודה "Praise", Standard Hebrew Yəhuda, Tiberian Hebrew Yəh?ḏāh) is the name of several men in late Jewish and New Testament history. The original Greek text of the New Testament makes no difference between the names "Judah", "Judas" and "Jude", rendering them all as Ioudas; but in many English translations "Judah" is used for the Old Testament figure and the tribe named after him, "Judas" is used only for Judas Iscariot, and "Jude" for all other New Testament persons of the same name.
