Simon Zelotes in the Bible.

The abbreviated form of Simeon. The King James Version names Simon Zelotes in 4 verses, from Matthew 10:4 to Acts 1:13.

Who Simon Zelotes was.

One of the twelve apostles, called the Canaanite (Matt. 10:4; Mark 3:18). This word “Canaanite” does not mean a native of Canaan, but is derived from the Syriac word Kanean or Kaneniah, which was the name of a Jewish sect. The Revised Version has “Cananaean;” marg., “or Zealot” He is also called “Zelotes” (Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13; R.V., “the Zealot”), because previous to his call to the apostleship he had been a member of the fanatical sect of the Zealots. There is no record regarding him.

From Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897).
