This was part of 14 books not in the Hebrew Bible, but added later, so protestants decided they were not inspired by God. The King James Version originally contained the Apocrypha, but printers began leaving them out to save money.

Does the Bible mention Judas Maccabeus?
Judas Maccabeus is mentioned in 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees. These are considered 'deutero-canonical' books and are included in the Catholic Bible, but not the Protestant Bible.
Why were the Maccabees books left out of the bible?
1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees actually are in the Catholic Bible, and can be read there. However, they were not accepted in the Hebrew Bible and are not in the Protestant Bible. One problem with the two books of Maccabees is that, although they were written around the same time and deal with the same period in Judean history, they are too much at variance as to what really happened. Moreover, 1 Maccabees is not really a religious document, while 2 Maccabees is considered by many to be simply too unrealistic to be taken seriously.
What are the inter-testamental writings?
The Intertestamental writings include the books of First and Second Maccabees. They chronicle the fight between Antiochus Epiphanes and the family of the Maccabees. They are not included in the current Protestant Canon, but are found in the Roman Catholic Bible.

Why is the Book of Maccabees not in the Bible?
A:There are actually four Books of Maccabees, written by different authors and over a period of centuries. 3 Maccabees and 4 Maccabees can probably be excluded because they were clearly written long after the time attributed to Jesus. 2 Maccabees was written shortly after 1 Maccabees.The Catholic Bible does include 1 and 2 Maccabees. Both were in the Septuagint scrolls and for that reason were candidates for inclusion, especially as 2 Maccabees includes awe-inspiring stories of angelic warfare as well as supporting the Catholic concept of purgatory.The Jewish academy had elected not to include either 1 Maccabees or 2 Maccabees, with the later books not yet written, and subsequent Protestant theologians were guided by the Hebrew scriptures.

What book in the bible is Judas maccabaeus found?
It depends on what you accept as the canon of Scripture. A typical Protestant canon does not include any mention of Judas Maccadaeus. Almost all of our information about this man comes from the books of the Maccabees (I believe it is split into 1st and 2nd Maccabees) and the writings of Josephus. It is a typical Protestant canon, the Apocrypha is not viewed as equal to the other works nor are they accepted as part of Scripture and so we do not find mention of him. If you want to read about him, find a Catholic Bible- or a study Bible with the inclusion of Apocryphal books.
How many more books are in the Catholic bible?
