Simon called the Zealot

"Simon the Zealot," one of the twelve apostles (Mt 10:4; Mk 3:18; Lk 6:15; Acts 1:13).

The term zealot (Gk. Zelotes), which is peculiar to Luke, is the Gk. equivalent for the Aram. term Qanne'an, preserved by Matthew and Mark. Each of these equally points out Simon as belonging to the faction of the Zealots, who were conspicuous for their fierce advocacy of the Mosaic ritual.

He is not to be identified with Simon the brother of Jesus.
