![]() ![]() Eisenman's broader conclusions, that the zealot element in the original apostle group was disguised and overwritten to make it support the assimilative Pauline Christianity of the Gentiles, are more controversial. Robert Eisenman has argued that contemporary talmudic references to Zealots refer to them as kanna'im "but not really as a group-rather as avenging priests in the Temple". If this is the case, his epithet would have been "Kanaios". However, Jerome and others, such as Bede, suggested that the word "Kananaios" or "Kananite" should be translated as "Canaanean" or "Canaanite", meaning that Simon was from the town of קנה Cana in Galilee. Both Kananaios and Kananites derive from the Hebrew word קנאי qanai, meaning zealous, so most scholars today generally translate the two words to mean "Zealot". In Matthew and Mark, however, he is called " Kananites" in the Byzantine majority and " Kananaios" in the Alexandrian manuscripts and the Textus Receptus ( Matthew 10:4 Mark 3:18). For this reason, it is generally assumed that Simon was a former member of the political party, the Zealots. Simon is called " Zelotes" in Luke and Acts ( Luke 6:15 Acts 1:13). To distinguish him from Simon Peter, he is given a surname in all three of the Synoptic Gospels where he is mentioned. Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes, And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor. 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: Identity Saint Simon the Zealot with his attribute of a saw A few pseudepigraphical writings were connected to him, but Jerome does not include him in De viris illustribus written between 392 and 393 AD. Simon the Zealot ( Acts 1:13, Luke 6:15) or Simon the Canaanite or Simon the Canaanean ( Matthew 10:4, Mark 3:18 Greek: Σίμων ὁ Κανανίτης Coptic: ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲓ-ⲕⲁⲛⲁⲛⲉⲟⲥ Classical Syriac: ܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܢܢܝܐ) was one of the most obscure among the apostles of Jesus.
