 | | The apostle Simon the Canaanite (called Simon the Zealot in Luke 6:15 and Acts 1:13; שמעון "Hearkening; listening", Standard Hebrew Šimʿon, Tiberian Hebrew Šimʿôn) was one of the more obscure among the apostles of Jesus, of whom little is recorded aside from his name. |
 | | Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot, and Judas [the son] of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. |
 | | To distinguish him from Simon Peter he is called Kananaios, or Kananites (Matthew 10:4; Mark 3:18), and in Luke 6:15 and Acts 1:13 Zelotes, the "Zealot." Jerome and others wrongly assumed that Kana was his native place: in which case, however, he would have been Kanaios. |
