Volume IV
The General Epistle of Jude.
With John Brown’s marginal references, notes and reflections · Vol. IV, p. 510
The author of this epistle was the brother of James, as all copies of the original testify. He is called in the Gospel Judas, with the addition of his surname, Lebbeus, or Thaddeus, to distinguish him from Judas Iscariot. This epistle so nearly coincides with the second of Peter, that it would seem to have been written upon the same occasion, and, either after a conversation with Peter, or after the reading of his epistle, which Jude seems to quote. Within this short epistle there are references to Ge. 4. 5; 5. 18; 19. 24; Nu. 14. 29; 16. 1; 22. 7-21; 26. 64; De. 29. 23; Eze. 14. 7; Da. 10. 13; Zec. 3. 2, 4, 5. C.
