The King James and the Douay-Rheims versions call him "Judas the brother of James", making him the same person as the writer of the Epistle of Jude, who identifies himself as "Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James" (Jude 1:1). A literal translation of the references to Jude in these passages gives "Jude of James" ( Greek: Ἰούδας Ἰακώβου), as in Young's Literal Translation of the Bible, but scholars differ on whether this means "Jude, brother of James" or "Jude, son of James". Translations into English from the original Greek of the New Testament vary in their rendering of Luke 6:16 and Acts 1:13. The latter two are also usually thought to be the same person, although this too is not certain, but different from 1 and 2.

Another common attribute is Jude holding an image of Jesus Christ, known as the Image of Edessa. This represents his presence at Pentecost, when he received the Holy Spirit with the other apostles. He is also often shown in icons with a flame around his head. In the Roman Catholic Church, he is the patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes. The Armenian Apostolic Church honors Thaddeus along with Saint Bartholomew as its patron saints. Most versions of the New Testament in languages other than English and French refer to Judas and Jude by the same name. Catholic writer Michal Hunt suggests that Judas Thaddaeus became known as Jude after early translators of the New Testament from Greek into English sought to distinguish him from Judas Iscariot and subsequently abbreviated his forename.
