Mat 10:4 | MHM | STEP | v. 4 : Simon is called the Canaanite, which probably means he came from Cana, or it could mean "the Zealot." Judas Iscariot is always named last, with the note that he betrayed Jesus. Jesus knew Judas would betray him from the beginning (John 6:64 ). This shows that even in the closest groups, there can be hypocrites, but God will one day show who is true and who is false (Matthew 13:30 ).

v. 4: Simon is called the Canaanite, which probably means he came from Cana, or it could mean "the Zealot." Judas Iscariot is always named last, with the note that he betrayed Jesus. Jesus knew Judas would betray him from the beginning (John 6:64 ^a). This shows that even in the closest groups, there can be hypocrites, but God will one day show who is true and who is false (Matthew 13:30 ^b).
