The Greek word "ζηλωτής" (zēlōtēs) indicates someone who is zealous or fervent. Simon's designation as a Zealot suggests his passionate commitment to Jewish independence and possibly a radical approach to faith and politics. His inclusion among the apostles highlights the diverse backgrounds of Jesus' followers, demonstrating that the message of Christ transcends political and social boundaries. Simon's transformation from a political revolutionary to a disciple of Christ exemplifies the power of the Gospel to change hearts and redirect zeal towards the Kingdom of God.<p><b>and Judas Iscariot</b><br />The name "Judas" is derived from the Hebrew "Yehudah," meaning "praised." "Iscariot" is often interpreted as "man of Kerioth," a town in Judea, indicating Judas' possible origin. Judas Iscariot is a complex figure, known for his role in the betrayal of Jesus. His presence among the apostles serves as a sobering reminder of human frailty and the potential for betrayal even among those closest to Christ. Theologically, Judas' actions fulfill Old Testament prophecies, illustrating the sovereignty of God in using even the darkest moments for His divine purposes.<p><b>who betrayed Him</b><br />The act of betrayal is captured in the Greek word "παραδιδόναι" (paradidonai), meaning "to hand over" or "to deliver up." Judas' betrayal is one of the most infamous acts in history, leading to Jesus' arrest and crucifixion. This phrase underscores the gravity of Judas' actions and the fulfillment of Jesus' foretelling of His own suffering and death. From a conservative Christian perspective, Judas' betrayal is a poignant reminder of the cost of sin and the depth of Christ's love, as He willingly endured suffering for the redemption of humanity. It also serves as a call to vigilance and faithfulness in the Christian walk, recognizing the ever-present need for grace and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/10.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 4.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Simon the Canaanite</span>. <span class="accented">Simon the Cananaean</span> (Revised Version); <span class="greek">ὁ Καναναῖος</span> (cf. <span class="greek">Φαρισαῖος Σαδδουκαῖος</span>, <span class="accented">vide</span> Bishop Lightfoot's 'Revision,' p. 138, edit. 1871) representing <span class="accented">Kann'an</span> or <span class="accented">Kan-'an</span> (<span class="hebrew">קנאן</span>), the Aramaic for "Zealot" (parallel passage in <a href="/luke/1.htm">Luke 1</a>; <a href="/acts/1-13.htm">Acts 1:13</a>), the name given to members of the extreme nationalist party founded about A.D. by Judas of Gamala, a city that appears to have lain near the east coast of the sea of Galilee (<span class="accented">vide</span> Schurer, 1. 2:225).
