1 Acts of the Holy Apostle Thaddæus,
2 One of the Twelve.
3 Lebbæus, who also is Thaddæus, was of the city of Edessa, and it is the metropolis of Osroene, in the interior of the Armenosyrians, an Hebrew by race, accomplished and most learned in the divine writings. He came to Jerusalem to worship in the days of John the Baptist; and having heard his preaching and seen his angelic life, he was baptized, and his name was called Thaddæus. And having seen the appearing of the Messiah, and His teaching, and His wonderful works, he followed Him, and became His disciple; and He chose him as one of the twelve, the tenth apostle according to the Evangelists Matthew and Mark.
4 In those times there was a governor of the city of Edessa, Abgarus by name. And there having gone abroad the fame of the Messiah, of the wonders which He did, and of His teaching, Abgarus having heard of it, was astonished, and desired to see the Messiah, and could not leave his city and government. And about the days of the Passion and the plots of the Jews, Abgarus, being seized by an incurable disease, sent a letter to the Messiah by Ananias the courier, to the following effect:, To Yahshua called the Messiah, Abgarus the governor of the country of the Edessenes, an unworthy slave.
