Context of Matthew 10:4

2These are the names of the 12 apostles: The first apostle is Simon, who was also called Peter. Then Simon's brother, who was called Andrew. Also James and his brother John, who were Zebedee's sons. 3There were Philip and Bartholomew. There were Thomas and Matthew. (Matthew's job was to take taxes from people.) And James who was the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus. There was also Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who later gave Jesus to his enemies. 5Jesus sent out these 12 disciples. Before they left, he said to them, ‘Do not go to any place where the people are Gentiles. And do not go to towns where only Samaritans live. 6Instead, you must go to the people of Israel. They are like lost sheep with nobody to take care of them.

Commentaries on Matthew 10:4

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 4Simon - He was third son of Alpheus, and brother of James and Jude, or Judas, Matthew 13:55. The Canaanite - This word is not put here to signify a particular people, as it is elsewhere used in the Sacred Writings; but it is formed from the Hebrew קנא kana, which signifies zealous, literally translated by Luke, Luke 6:15, , zelotes, or the zealous, probably from his great fervency in preaching the Gospel of his Master. But see Luke 6:15. Judas Iscariot…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 4Simon the Canaanite - Luke calls him “Simon Zelotes,” the zealous. It is probable that he was one of a small sect of the Jews called “Zealots,” on account of special zeal in religion.

Iscariot might refer to someone from Kerioth in southern Judea (Joshua 15:25) or from Kerioth in Perea (Jeremiah 48:24).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 44. Simon the Canaanite--rather "Kananite," but better still, "the Zealot," as he is called in Lu 6:15, where the original term should not have been retained as in our version ("Simon, called Zelotes"), but rendered "Simon, called the Zealot." The word "Kananite" is just the Aramaic, or Syro-Chaldaic, term for "Zealot." Probably before his acquaintance with Jesus, he belonged to the sect of the Zealots, who bound themselves, as a sort of voluntary…Read the comment
