Jude

What is the full title of Jude's epistle in the Authorised King James Version?

The Epistle of Jude


The General Epistle of Jude.. Only the epistles of Jude and James have this precise title style. Peter and John, who each have more than one New Testament book attributed to them, use a slightly different title style, their first epistles beginning with the words 'The First Epistle General'. Only St. John, author of The Revelation, is referred to as 'The Divine'.



In his opening verse, Jude claims to be the servant of Jesus Christ, and also related to someone. To whom does he say he's related?

The Epistle of Jude


James. Verse one of The General Epistle Of Jude opens with the words "Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James,". Two of the twelve disciples of Jesus were called James, and it is not absolutely certain which of these Jude is referring to. According to some sources, it is even possible the James he refers to is neither of these two. The most likely candidate is James, the brother of Jesus, mentioned along with Joses, Simon, and Judas as brethren and sons of Mary, (Matthew 14, verse 55).



In his epistle, Jude mentions two ancient cities by name. Which cities are these?

The Epistle of Jude


Sodom and Gomorrha. The two cities are mentioned in verse 7, which states: "Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire."



Jude, in his epistle, quotes various events, including at least one which is apocryphal, ie, not recorded in either the Old or the New Testament. What is the nature of this apocryphal quote?

The Epistle of Jude


A prophecy of Enoch. Enoch was the father of Methuselah, the oldest man recorded in the Bible, and did not die, but was taken by God, (Genesis 5, verses 18 - 24). The apocryphal prophecy quoted by Jude is found in verses 14 - 15, and begins "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his saints,".



Which archangel is mentioned by name in Jude's epistle?

Michael. The archangel Michael is mentioned in verse 9, where he is contending with the devil about the body of Moses. In the King James version of the Bible, only Michael is actually stated as being an archangel. The other angel named in this Bible version is Gabriel, who is only referred to as an angel. Apocryphal sources name all four of the above as archangels.
