V. JUDAS or Jude, sirnamed Barsabas, was sent from Jerusalem with Paul and Barnabas to the Church of Antioch, to acquaint it with the resolution which had been taken at the Council of Jerusalem, Acts xv. 22, 23. In the Year of J. C. 54. of the vulg. Æra 51. Acts i. 13. Acts xv. 32, 33.concerning the observances of the Law. Some are of opinion, that this Jude was the brother of Joseph, sirnamed also Barsabas, who was proposed together with Matthias to fill up the place of the traitor Judas. S. Luke tells us, that Jude Barsabas was a Prophet, and one of the first among the brethren. It is believed that he was one of the seventy Disciples. After he had been some time at Antioch, he returned to Jerusalem. We know nothing more either of his life, birth, or death.
