Simon, Brother of the Lord

SIMONE, FRATELLO DEL SIGNORE

Italian original Cite

SIMON, Brother of the Lord. - One of the four listed by the Nazarenes (with James, Joseph [Joses] and Jude) as "brothers of Jesus" (v.) in Mt. 13:55 and Mk. 6:3, in the Semitic sense of "cousins."

Many identify him with the apostle Simon (v.) the Cananaean, also called the Zealot, brother of Jude (v.) Thaddaeus; and, further, also with Simeon, brother and successor of James, bishop of Jerusalem, who is probably to be identified with the apostle James the Less (v.).
