Story of St Jude
The Story of St Jude (1st century C.E.), Saint Jude also known as St. Judas or Jude Thaddeus, is regarded as one of Jesus’ Douze Apôtres. Il est celui de Jésus "frère» et l'auteur le plus probable de l'Épître de Jude.
Various Christian churches consider Jude the Apostle to be a saint. For example, the Armenian Église apostolique honors him alongside Saint-Barthélemy. Roman Catholics revere him as the patron saint of dismal situations and misdirected causes. He can no longer be concerned about Judas Iscariote or any other Apostle who eventually betrayed Jesus. Their name is a Greek form of Judah, becoming well-known.
Qui est Saint Jude ?
Within the story of St Jude, who was one of the Twelve Apostles and the younger brother of Jacques le Moins, we find he is a mystery of numerous kinds of discernment. He enters and exits the gospel tale in a calm historical past way, almost as if he’s actively attempting to drown his character in that of Christ rather than bringing attention to himself. This obscurity is one of the reasons he has remained unknown and forgotten for centuries.
Néanmoins, au cours des siècles qui se sont écoulés depuis Jésus et sesVie et mort des apôtres, une énorme quantité de sous-culture et de mythologie s'est développée autour de la vie de saint Jude. Les historiens peuvent rassembler divers fragments de matériel pour fournir au moins une image compréhensible de ce saint exceptionnel. Bien que nous ayons soigneusement examiné les preuves surSaint-Jude, notre but ici n'est pas toujours d'en fournir des enregistrements précis ou cliniques.
Another gospel account indicates that Mary, the mother of James and Jude, had witnessed Jesus during his traveling ministry around Galilee. In the end, she witnessed the Savior’s crucifixion and death (Marc 15:40, Mattew 17:56). In John’s Gospel, we encounter a positive Mary, Clopas’ wife, who has a relationship with the Sorrowful Mother beneath the cross (John 19:25).
Certains ont tenté d'établir Marie de Clopas comme l'homme ou la femme identique à la mère de Jacques et de Joses dans l'une des nombreuses tentatives d'harmoniser les différents récits évangéliques (et par conséquent de Jude). Contrairement à cette idée, le Père de Jacques et de Jude est communément appelé Alphaeus, et rien dans les Évangiles n'indique son nom.
D'ailleurs, Marie devient un banal appel. Cependant, il est évident que la liste des femmes qui ont vécu la Passion du Seigneur est insuffisante et diffère de chaque sous-culture évangélique. En tout cas, nous reconnaissons que Marie, la mère de Jacques et Jude, est devenue un don sur l'ardeur et la mort du Seigneur, et que, dans l'Évangile de Jean, non seulement la Mère de Jésus mais aussi les autres dames qui ont suivi lui ont été offerts comme modèles de croyants.
Jude is referred to as “Thaddaeus” in the Gospels of Mark and Matthew, possibly to distinguish him from the traitor Judas Iscariot because Judas and Jude are the same names in both Aramaic (Yehuda) and Greek (Cloudas). In certain early copies of Matthew’s Gospel, Jude is sometimes referred to as “Lebbaeus.”
Le nom "Thaddaeus" semble être dérivé de l'expression araméenne Taddal, qui signifie "l'homme à la large poitrine (bienfaisant ou courageux)", tandis que "Lebbaeus", dérivé de l'expression hébraïque Feb (cœur), signifie "coeur" ou "du cœur", ce qui implique que chaque nom peut être une manière distincte de prononcer presque la même chose. Étant le cousin de Jésus, Jude aurait dû naître et grandir près du Seigneur.
They both resided in or around Nazareth (Mark 6:3). Although we don’t know which was born first, they should be around the same age. Both of them most likely performed together inside the house of Joseph or Alphaeus; both of them frequently went to synagogue offerings with their parents; each of them stretched out to life, to the splendor of the Galilean fields, to the melody of the birds, to the sentiments of puberty.
We’re informed that Jesus grew in knowledge, stature, and desire as He interacted with God and His creations (Luke 2:52). His humanity extended beyond the internal softness that led to a massive love and reverence for his heavenly parent. Jude should be a testament to Jesus’ perfectly human growth. Like every other prominent Jew of his day, Jude should have found an alternative. The Jewish people have always felt compelled to better the created world. Furthermore, socioeconomic circumstances forced most people to work hard to make a livelihood. We no longer know who Jude’s replacement has become.
Marriage was seen as a religious requirement by Jews, and a man was expected to marry around the age of 18. Later church tradition, which always depicted John as the virginal disciple, also emphasized that the other members of the Twelve Apostles were all married men. Jesus and the groom’s relatives and friends were probably definitely present at the wedding celebrations.
Disciple et ami de Jésus
When Jesus was around 30 years old, he left his family and traveled to Judea, where a prophet, John, known as John the Baptist, predicted the coming “Day of the Lord” and baptized people who embraced his message of repentance. John also baptized Jesus in the Jordan River. He promptly returned to Galilee to begin his nomadic ministry.
He announced the emergence of God’s reign—decisive God’s involvement in human records to store all humans—and pleaded with humans to repentance to simply accept God’s gracious invitation. It became a liberating message that pressed the revelation of God’s kindness in a manner distinct from John’s furious preaching. Jesus announced the remission of sins and cured many sick people. God’s grace truly transformed into turning into the seeing of their midst.
On this mission to communicate God’s love, Jesus swiftly began searching out fellow travelers. A group of Galileans, including men and women, began following him and became his followers. St. Jude and Mary, Jude’s mother, were among them, who came and departed, ministering to Jesus, the Master. Jude had to make the difficult decision to leave his wife and their two younger children.
Jude, like Peter, the two Jameses, John, Mary Magdalen, and diverse ladies like the widow of Chuza, learned a lot from Jesus about the heavenly father’s mercy and providence, about generosity, about neighborly love, and particularly about love for sinners, the outcast, and the sick. Not alone did Jesus enter synagogues, but also tax collectors’ homes. He traversed the dusty roadways of Galilee and the surrounding geographical region with Jesus and sat alongside the Lake of Gennesaret. Frequently, he had to shield his cousin from the burdens that pressed in on him. This became his schooling time for the apostleship.
Jude had become a friend of Jesus in a way he had never been before. According to Mark, Jesus summoned the Twelve Apostles “to be with him” (Mark 3:14). There was a strong bond of communion between Jesus and those men who shared his labor and tiredness and who looked forward with self-belief and yearning to the reign of divine favor.
According to Mark, Jesus stated on one occasion that his legitimate circle of relatives comprised of people like his disciples, men, and women who have been fulfilling God’s will—who established his message that the Father wishes to keep us (Mark 3:34;Mark 3:35). Jude had progressed from being a fleshly relative of Jesus to bringing his spiritual sibling.
Le ministère de la grâce de Dieu
One day, Jesus gathered the Twelve Apostles and sent them out into the arena to announce the presence of God’s land and to make that kingdom visible by healing the sick (Mark 6:7, Mattew 10:6; Matthew 10:7;Matthew 10:8). They moved forward by way of. We don’t know who Jude became during his first ministry.
At some point in towns and villages, they preached God’s gracious offer of salvation and pleaded with their listeners for repentance. They treated the ill and cultivated the hospitality of those who accepted them. They, however, refused to be reimbursed for their services.
They specifically directed their message to the location of Israel’s strayed sheep. Of course, they mentioned Jesus. Their experience should have been comparable to that of the 70 disciples;Luke alone provides an account(Luke 10:17;Luke 10:18;Luke 10:19;Luke 10:20). They returned from their mission exhausted but also ecstatic; they’d seen that the devils had bowed to them and that the sick had been cured when they called Jesus’ name.
Tradition et légende
Saint Jude proclaimed the Gospel throughout Judea, Samaria, Idumaea, Syria, Mesopotamia, and Libya, among several other locations. He is also claimed to have been to Beirut and Edessa. On the other hand, the latter’s emissary is Thaddeus of Edessa, Addai, one of the seventy. Nicephorus Callistus, a 14th-century writer, accords Jude to the position of the bridegroom at Cana’s wedding. According to history, Saint Jude est né directement dans leur famille juive à Paneas, a Galilean city reconstructed during the Roman Empire and renamed Caesarea Philippi.
Comme pratiquement tous ses contemporains de cette région, ils parlaient probablement à la fois le grec et l'araméen ettravaillait comme agriculteur de métier. Selon la mythologie, saint Jude s'est transformé en fils de Clopas et de Marie de Clopas, la sœur de la Vierge Marie. Selon la légende, le père de Jude, Clopas, a été crucifié pour son engagement direct et ardent envers le Christ ressuscité.
Although Saint Gregory the Illuminator is credited as the “Apostle to the Armenians” because he baptized King Tiridates III of Armenia in 301, converting the Armenians, the Apostles Jude, and Bartholomew historically appear as the first to bring Christianity to Armenia and are thus commemorated as client saints of the Armenian Apostolic Church. This culture is tied to the Saint Thaddeus Monastery (now located in northern Iran) and the Saint-BarthélemyMonastère (maintenant situé dans le sud de la Turquie), tous deux intégrés en Arménie.
Le dernier voyage
Selon les célèbres traditions que nous avions suivies, saint Jude a persévéré à faire des voyages missionnaires pendant de nombreuses années, changeant un nombre substantiel d'humains en Mésopotamie, en Arménie, en Perse et probablement même dans le sud de la Russie.
Son cousin divin a changé d'avis lors du dernier voyage et a décidé de l'expédier. Une foule idolâtre l'a attaqué, probablement incité par Zeroes et Arfaxat, et l'a matraqué à mort avec des gourdins. Près de 20 siècles plus tard, l'apôtre est toujours représenté avec l'adhésion en souvenir de son martyre.
Another symbole associé à saint Judeest la hache puisqu'après avoir été matraqué à mort, il a été décapité avec une hache. Une flamme est également fréquemment représentée volant au-dessus de la tête de saint Jude, suggérant qu'il est devenu l'un des apôtres sur lesquels le Saint-Esprit est tombé sous forme de langues de flammes; il représente également la présence des langues que les Apôtres ont reçu à l'époque.
Les restes de Simon et de Jude reposent depuis des siècles dans l'église mère de la chrétienté, Saint-Pierre à Rome. Dès 1548, nous avons un record que le pape Paul III a accordé une indulgence plénière à tous ceux qui ont visitéTombe de saint Jude le jour de sa fête, le 28 octobre.
L'historien Eusèbe, citant cette fois Hégésippe, raconte une légende sur les petits-fils de Jude. Il semble que l'empereur Domitien ait découvert qu'il y avait des parents de la famille de Jésus (et donc de la lignée davidique) résidant en Palestine. Il les a sommés de se tenir devant lui et a remis en question leur place dans la vie et leurs croyances.
C'étaient de petits agriculteurs qui subsistaient et payaient des impôts en cultivant de petites parcelles de terre. Lorsque Domitien s'est enquis du Christ et de son royaume, les descendants de Jude ont répondu que le Christ était un royaume spirituel. L'empereur les a relâchés et la persécution des chrétiens a pris fin peu de temps après. Lorsque les petits-fils de Jude retournèrent dans leur pays, ils poursuivirent leur travail de direction d'églises locales en Palestine, où ils furent reconnus et considérés comme des parents et des témoins du Seigneur.
Patronage Saint Jude
There are many patron saints and Saint Jude is the “saint patron des causes perdues.” This story stems from the belief that few Christians summoned him because they were scared of praying to Christ’s betrayer, Judas Iscariot because their names are similar. As a result of being ignored, Jude became fairly eager to aid anybody who asked for his help, even going so far as to intercede in the direst of situations. The Church also wanted to encourage devotion to this “forgotten” Apostle, stating that Saint Jude would intervene in any hopeless cause to display his goodness and enthusiasm for Christ.
Le service de police de Chicago, les agents des douanes, le Clube de Regatas do Flamengo (une équipe de football à Rio de Janeiro, Brésil) et deux équipes GAA de St Jude, la première à Templeogue Dublin 6W et la seconde à Southampton et Bournemouth sont tous nommés d'après Saint Jude (Royaume-Uni). Parmi les autres bénéficiaires de ses services figurent les personnes dans le besoin et les hôpitaux. L'un de ses homonymes est le St.Jude Children's Research Hospital de Memphis, Tennessee, qui a aidé de nombreux enfants atteints de maladies en phase terminale et leurs familles depuis sa fondation en 1962.
Mort et restes
Saint Jude was martyred around 65 A.D. in Beirut, in the Roman province of Syria, with the Apostle Simon the Zealot, with whom he is commonly identified. He is commonly shown gripping an axe in photos, reflecting how he was slain.
According to the Golden Legend, the saints’ acts, and martyrdom were recorded in an Acts of Simon and Jude, which was among the collection of passions and legends traditionally associated with the legendary Abdias, bishop of Babylon, and said to have been translated into Latin by his disciple Tropaeus Africanus.
According to one tradition, Saint Jude’s remains were transferred from Beirut to Rome and deposited in a tomb in St. Peter’s Basilica, a popular pilgrimage site for Christians. His ashes are deposited under the grand altar in the left transept of St. Peter’s Basilica, in the same tomb as the Apostle Simon the Zealot.
These were moved here on December 27, 1665. Another popular tradition states that until the mid-15th century, the remains of St. Jude were preserved at an Armenian monastery on an island in Kyrgyzstan’s Issyk-Kul Lake’s northern portion. Later accounts argue whether the ruins are still there or transported to a considerably more isolated fortress in the Pamir Mountains.
A simple ossuary with the inscription “Judas Thaddaeus” (o ) was discovered in Kefar Barukh, Jezreel Valley, together with remains of four uninscribed ossuaries. Lamps and other earthenware dated the site to the early second century.
Conclusion The Story of St Jude
Unlike Peter and John, Apostle Jude was one of Jesus’ most secretive and little-known disciples. He was only mentioned a few times in the Synoptic Gospels (Matthieu,Marquer, and Luc), the Gospel of John, and the book of Acts. The two Judes (or Judases) completed Jesus’ circle of disciples, although they were identified by their surnames, Iscariot and Thaddeus.
His identity became more complicated when some verses named him the brother of Jesus and James (Matthew 13:55;Mark 6:3), while another verse designated him as the son of James (Matthew 13:55;Mark 6:3;Luke 6:16). According to tradition, he was also identified as the son of Clopas and Mary, the Virgin Mary’s cousin.
The brief Epistle bearing his name, written between 65 and 80 A.D., was attributed to Jude. The Epistle, written to unknown recipients, highlighted the dangers of believing in faux professeurset se terminait par une demande de rester fidèle à la foi chrétienne.
Apart from this Epistle, every additional knowledge about Jude the Apostle is derived only from tradition. His missions in the Levant, Mesopotamia, and Cyrenaica (Libya) and his return to Jerusalem in 62 A.D. to assist his brother, St. Simeon, as Bishop of Jerusalem, are examples of this.
He died as a martyr in Syria and another apostle, Simon, the Zealot, and was venerated as the patron saint of desperate causes and situations. His feast day is celebrated every October 28.
