Rfv-sense: "Penultimate book of the Bible, with only one chapter, composed of twenty-five verses". Usually known as Jude in English translations AFAIK. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 20:12, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you try a search query like "Hebrews, James, Judas", it's possible to find it, but it seems rare. 98.170.164.88 06:09, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Judas (or Iudas) is the Latin name so it crops up occasionally. It's used as the title of the book in at least Wycliffe's Bible (Middle English). I broadened the sense to just "alternative form of Jude" (book and apostle) and cited it. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 14:29, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
