Judas Alpheus

Judas Alpheus was the twin brother of James, 26 years old when chosen, married with two children. Nearly identical to James in every way, Judas was drawn toward Jesus because of the Master's unostentatious humility (139:10.7). The twins served as chief ushers, general servants, and errand boys of the twelve (139:10.3). Jesus welcomed these young men of one talent because there are untold millions of similar simple and fear-ridden souls on the worlds of space whom he likewise wishes to welcome into fellowship (139:10.8). They were among the first to believe in the resurrection (139:10.11).
