Saint Simon the Zealot (Acts 1:13, Luke 6:15) also known as Simon the Canaanite or Simon the Canaanean (Matthew 10:4, Mark 3:18)was one of the most obscure among the apostles of Jesus. 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: Simon 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.— Luke 6:14–16 According to the Golden Legend, which is a collection of hagiographies, compiled in the 13th century, "Simon the Cananaean and Judas Thaddeus were brethren of James the Less and sons of Mary Cleophas, who was married to Alpheus." Like the other Apostles, Simon is venerated as a saint by all Christian denominations.
