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. His native place was probably “Cana.” Afterward he might with propriety be called by either title. Judas Iscariot - It is probable this name was given to him to designate his native place. Carioth was a small town in the tribe of Judah.Read the comment

As a Jewish nationalist, Simon was probably passionate about the law (Acts 22:3–5; Galatians 1:14; Philippians 3:6). The Jewish historian Josephus blamed the Zealot party for the major war with Rome from AD 66–70. 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
