JUDE (St), brother of St James the younger, and son of Joseph, (Mat. xiii. 55.) He preached in Mesopotamia, Arabia, Syria, Idumea; and died in Berytus for the confession of Christ. He writ that epistle which goes under his name, and after the death of most of the apostles. He was cruelly put to death for reproving the superstition of the Magi.
