At best, Jude has one line of dialogue in the gospels—and that depends on which Jude John is talking about in John 14:22. He doesn’t play a special role in any part of the gospel narrative (other than possibly being mentioned as one of Jesus’ brothers). In fact, the name Judeonly appears in two of the four lists of Jesus’ 12 disciples. Here’s what ...
It’s traditionally believed that Jude was martyred in Syria on his missionary journey with Simon the Zealot.

Jude describes himself as "a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James" ( Jude 1:1 ). The James here mentioned is no doubt the person who is called "the Lord's brother" ( Galatians 1:19 ), the writer of the epistle that bears his name. Neither of the two was an apostle.
