And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
All Commentaries on Luke 6:12 Go To Luke 6
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
With respect to the name of Judas the brother of James, Luke seems to differ from Matthew, who calls him Thaddaeus. But what prevented a man from being called by two or three names? Judas the traitor is chosen, not unwittingly but knowingly, for Christ had indeed taken to Himself the weakness of man, and therefore refused not even this share of human infirmity. He was willing to be betrayed by His own Apostle, that you when betrayed by your friend may bear calmly your mistaken judgment, your kindness thrown away.
