This is the [emphasize] first name of a man also referred to as the “twin,” whose namesake logia have given credence to the Q source hypothesis. Papias described the head of a man with this name swelling so large he could not fit between two houses. The only Biblically canonical quote from the Book of Enoch occurs in an epistle attributed to Jesus’ brother of this name, also called Thaddaeus. A man with this name is called the “thirteenth spirit” after uniquely being able to look Jesus in the face in a Gnostic gospel named for him. According to Acts, a man with this name died after he “fell headlong and burst asunder” in Akeldama, a place named for the 30 silver pieces used to buy it. For 10 points, give the name of the disciple who betrayed Jesus. ■END■
ANSWER: Judas [or Jude; or Yehūdā; or Ioûdas; accept Judas Thomas or Judas Didymus; accept Judas Iscariot or Gospel of Judas; accept Judas Thaddaeus or Epistle of Jude] (“Didymus” is not a name, and the Gospel of Thomas is not Gnostic sensu stricto.)
