Talk:Mark 3
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] "Judas [son] of James"
The article Jude, brother of Jesus is about "Judas [son] of James":
Judas or Jude is mentioned in Mark 6:3 and Matthew 13:55 as a brother of James and of Jesus.
The identity of the "Judas [son] of James," mentioned among the apostles in Luke 6:16, is debated. A common Greek idiom regularly followed a man's name with his father's name in the genitive case— the ordinary way in the papyri. Early English translators, William Tyndale and Myles Coverdale, understood this idiom correctly in translating Luke, but Theodore Beza introduced "brother of James," which passed through the Geneva Bible (1560) ("Iudas Iames brother") into the King James Version of the Bible (Luke 6:16).
Yes, it is debated, and since it is not for sure that this is the same person mentioned in Mark 6, I don't think it should be automatically linked. Roy Brumback 05:46, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
