Apostle Judas (Thaddaeus)
The apostolic lists preserve variant naming: Matthew and Mark use Thaddaeus in the familiar textual tradition, while Luke and Acts name Judas son of James.
Perspective note
Comparative historical/source study. The original author's or church's reception is retained; inclusion does not make every claim Oriental Orthodox teaching.
