Simon the Zealot

Simon the Zealot (Acts 1:13, Luke 6:15, Ancient Greek: Σίμων ὁ ζηλωτής), also the Canaanite or the Canaanean (Matthew 10:4, Mark 3:18), 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.
