Bible Person
Meaning: that hears; that obeys · Male · 2 cross references
This Simon entry refers to one of Jesus' brothers, not to Simon Peter, Simon the leper, or other New Testament figures of the same name. He belongs to the household context of Jesus' earthly family. First appears in Matt 13:55.1
AI summary: This Simon matters because his cross references place him inside the familiar domestic naming of Jesus' family in Nazareth. The mention reminds readers that Jesus' public ministry unfolds in the presence of ordinary household relationships that many around him think they already understand. Taken together, the material presents this Simon as part of the family setting through which Jesus is initially received with skepticism.1
