Bible Person
Meaning: that hears; that obeys · Male · 10 cross references
This Simon entry refers to Simon Iscariot, the father of Judas Iscariot. He appears only through the repeated identification of Judas as his son. First appears in Mark 1:30.1
AI summary: This Simon matters because the cross references preserve his name entirely through the infamy and recognition of Judas. He has no narrative role of his own, but the repeated patronymic keeps Judas historically anchored and distinguishes him from the many other Judases and Simons in the New Testament. In that limited sense he remains part of the Passion's social world. Taken together, the material presents this Simon as a minor identifying figure whose significance is wholly derivative of his son's place in the Gospel story.1
