Simon The Zealot
Simon the Zealot (, ), also the Canaanite or the Canaanean (, ; ; ; ), was one of the apostles of Jesus. A few pseudepigraphical writings were connected to him, but Jerome does not include him in ''De viris illustribus'' written between 392 and 393 AD. Identity Gospel-based traditions The name Simon occurs in all of the Synoptic Gospels and the Book of Acts each time there is a list of apostles, without further details: To distinguish him from Simon Peter, he is given a surname in all three of the Synoptic Gospels where he is mentioned. Simon is called "''Zelotes''" in Luke and Acts ( ). For this reason, it is generally assumed that Simon was a former member of the political party, the Zealots.
