Matthew 10:4 is the fourth verse in the tenth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.
In the original Greek according to Westcott-Hort this verse is:
- Σίμων ὁ Κανανίτης, καὶ Ἰούδας ὁ Ἰσκαριώτης ὁ καὶ παραδοὺς αὐτόν.
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:
- Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
The New International Version translates the passage as:
- Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
Analysis
Lapide states that Simon the Canaanite is not from the Canaanite people in whose land the Hebrews took, but rather because he was born at Cana of Galilee. Luke calls him "Zealot", thus probably this word comes from Aramaic qan'ana' that means zeal.[1] MacEvilly believes that Judas was chosen by Christ to complete his passion, and to add to "the weight of His Passion."[2][3]
