    How many people in the Bible are named Judas? And, apart from Judas Iscariot, who are they?

    Connie,

    That is a great question. I did not know the answer, but I did an internet search and found this. I cannot confirm the accuracy, but here's what I found:

    There were 7 people named JUDAS in The Bible.

    1. An ancestor of Jesus ( Luke 3:30-31)

    2. "Judas the Galilean"mentioned by Gamaliel at the Sanhedrin. ( Acts 5:37)

    3. One of the 12 apostles (aka: Thaddaeus-"son of James") ( Luke 6:16)

    4. Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus. ( Mark 3:19)

    5. One of Jesus' half-brothers. ( Matthew 13:55)

    6. A man from Damascus (on the 'street called Straight') where Paul went after he was blinded ( Acts 9:11)

    7. Judas (aka:Barsabbas)-who was called a prophet and a 'leading man' among the disciples, sent with Paul and Barnabas to deliver the letter on circumcision to Antioch and encourage the congregation ( Acts 15:22, 30-32)

    Thank you for responding to my comment. I was confused by John 14:22 because I wasn't aware that there were two apostles named Judas. I only knew of Judas Ascariot. After reading all of the scripture you referenced, it is now clear to me that the Judas referred to in that verse is Judas Barsabas. I also looked up the names of all the apostles, which I should have done before hand.

    Thanks again, and God bless you.
