Barnes' Notes
Simon 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.
