<p> ( Σίμων , <i> ''''' Sı́mōn ''''' </i> , Greek form of [[Simeon]] (which see)): The persons of the name of Simon mentioned in the [[Apocrypha]] are: </p> <p> (1) Simon the Maccabean (Hasmonean), surnamed [[Thassi]] (which see), the 2nd son of [[Mattathias]] and elder brother of [[Judas]] Maccabeus. On his deathbed, Mattathias commended Simon as a "man of counsel" to be a "father" to his brethren (&nbsp;1 [[Maccabees]] 2:65 ), and a "man of counsel" he proved himself. But it was not till after the death of Judas and the capture of [[Jonathan]] that he played the chief role. [[Dispatched]] by Judas with a force to the relief of the [[Jews]] in [[Galilee]] he fought with great success (&nbsp;1 Maccabees 5:17 ff; Josephus, <i> Ant. </i> , Xii , viii, 1 f). We find him next taking revenge along with Jonathan on the "children of Jambri" (&nbsp;1 Maccabees 9:33 ff), and cooperating in the successful campaign around [[Bethbasi]] against [[Bacchides]] (circa 156 BC) (&nbsp; 1 Maccabees 9:62 ff), and in the campaign against [[Apollonius]] (&nbsp; 1 Maccabees 10:74 ff). In the conflict between [[Tryphon]] and [[Demetrius]] II, Simon was appointed by [[Antiochus]] 6 "captain from the [[Ladder]] of [[Tyre]] unto the borders of Egypt" (&nbsp; 1 Maccabees 11:59 ). After the capture of Jonathan at [[Ptolemais]] by Tryphon, Simon became acknowledged leader of his party. He thwarted Tryphon in his attempts upon Jerusalem, in revenge for which the latter murdered Jonathan (&nbsp;1 Maccabees 13:23 ). Simon then took the side of Demetrius on condition of immunity for Judea, and so 'in the 170th year' (143-142 BC) 'the yoke of the heathen was taken away from Israel' (&nbsp;1 Maccabees 13:41 ). Simon applied himself to rebuild the strongholds of Judea, reduced Gazara, captured the [[Acra]] (citadel) and made [[Joppa]] a seaport. He showed his wisdom most of all in his internal administration: "He sought the good of his country"; commerce and agriculture revived; lawlessness was suppressed and "the land had rest all the days of Simon (&nbsp;1 Maccabees 14:4 ff). His power was acknowledged by [[Sparta]] and Rome (&nbsp; 1 Maccabees 14:16 ff). In 141 Bc he was appointed by the nation leader, high priest and captain "for ever, until there should arise a faithful prophet" (&nbsp;1 Maccabees 14:41 ff), and thus the [[Hasmonean]] dynasty was founded. A new chronological era began with the first year of his administration, and he minted his own coins. A few years later Simon again meddled in [[Syrian]] politics (139 BC), this time at the entreaty of Antiochus 7 (Sidetes) in his contest against Tryphon; when, however, Antiochus was assured of success, he refused the help of Simon and sent [[Cendebaeus]] against Judea. Judas and John, sons of Simon, defeated the invaders near [[Modin]] (137-136 BC). In 135 Bc S imon met his death by treachery. [[Ptolemy]] the son of Abubus, Simon's own son-in-law, determined to secure supreme power for himself and, in order to accomplish this, to assassinate the whole family of Simon. He accordingly invited Simon and his sons to a banquet in the stronghold of [[Dok]] near Jericho, where he treacherously murdered Simon with his two sons Mattathias and Judas. The other son, John Hyrcanus, governor of Gazara, received intimation of the plot and saved himself to become the head of the Hasmonean dynasty. "The significance of Simon's administration consists in this, that he completed the work of Jonathan and left the [[Jewish]] people absolutely independent of Syria" (Schurer). See Maccabaeus , II., 4. </p> <p> (2) Simon I, the high priest, son of [[Onias]] I, whom he succeeded circa 300 BC. He was one of the last of the Great Synagogue, and to him is attributed the saying, "On three things the world depends - the Law, [[Worship]] and the showing of kindness." According to [[Josephus]] ( <i> Ant. </i> , Xii , ii, 5) this Simon was called "the Just" ( ὁ δικαιος , <i> ''''' ho ''''' </i> <i> ''''' dı́kaios ''''' </i> ), "on account of his piety and his benevolent disposition toward his countrymen." </p> <p> Many authorities (Herzfeld, Derenbourg, Stanley, Cheyne) assert that Josephus is wrong in attaching this epithet to Simon I instead of Simon II, and Schurer is not certain on this question. But the [[Talmud]] passage which Derenbourg cites means the opposite of what he takes it, namely, it is intended to show how splendid and holy were the days of Simeon ( <i> ''''' ha ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' caddı̄ḳ ''''' </i> ) compared with the later days. Besides, Josephus is more likely to have known the truth on this matter than these later authorities. The same uncertainty obtains as to whether the eulogium in &nbsp; [[Sirach]] 50:1 ff of "the great priest" refers to Simon I or Simon II. Schurer and others refer it to Simon II. It is more likely to refer to the Simon who was famous as "the Just," and consequently to Simon I. Besides we know of no achievements of Simon 2 to entitle him to such praise. The building operations mentioned would suit the time of Simon I better, as Ptolemy captured [[Jerusalem]] and probably caused considerable destruction. The Talmud states that this Simon (and not Jaddua) met [[Alexander]] the Great. </p> <p> (3) Simon II, high priest, son of Onias 2 and grandson of Simon I and father of Onias III, flourished about the end of the 3century BC, and was succeeded by his son Onias 3 circa 198 BC. Josephus says that this Simon in the conflict of the sons of [[Joseph]] sided with the elder sons against [[Hyrcanus]] the younger. Schurer (probably incorrectly) thinks he is the Simon praised in &nbsp;Sirach 50:1 ff. See (2) above (3Macc 2:1; Josephus, <i> Ant. </i> , Xii , iv, 10). </p> <p> (4) Simon, a Benjamite, guardian of the temple, who, having quarreled with the high priest Onias III, informed Apollonius of the untold sums of money in the temple treasury. Apollonius laid the matter before the king [[Seleucus]] IV, who sent [[Heliodorus]] to remove the money. An apparition prevented Heliodorus from accomplishing his task (&nbsp;2 Maccabees 3:4 ff). It is further recorded, that Simon continued his opposition to Onias. He is spoken of as brother of the renegade [[Menelaus]] (&nbsp; 2 Maccabees 4:23 ). Of his end we know nothing. </p> <p> (5) Simon Chosameus (Codex Vaticanus (and Swete) Χοσάμαος , <i> ''''' Chosámaos ''''' </i> ; Codex Alexandrinus Χοσομαῖος , <i> ''''' Chosomaı́os ''''' </i> ), one of the sons of [[Annas]] who had married "strange wives" (1 [[Esdras]] 9:32). Simon apparently = "Shimeon" ( <i> ''''' shim‛ōn ''''' </i> ) of the sons of [[Harim]] (&nbsp; Ezra 10:31 ); Chosameus is probably a corruption standing in the place of, but not resembling, any of the three names: Benjamin, Malluch, Shemaraiah, which Esdras omits from the Ezra list. </p>

(4) "The leper" in Bethany, in whose house a woman poured a cruse of precious ointment over the head of Jesus ( Matthew 26:6;  Mark 14:3 ). He had perhaps been healed by Jesus; in that case his ungracious behavior was not consistent with due gratitude. However he was healed, the title referred to his condition in the past, as lepers were ostracized by law.

(5) A P harisee in whose house a woman, "a sinner," wet the feet of Jesus with her tears, and anointed them with ointment ( Luke 7:36 ff). By some he is identified with (4), this being regarded as Luke's version of the incident recorded in Mt 26 and Mk 14. Others as strongly deny this view. For discussion see Mary , IV.

(6) A man of Cyrene, who was compelled to carry the cross of Jesus ( Matthew 27:32;  Mark 15:21;  Luke 23:26 ). Mark calls him "the father of Alexander and Rufus," well-known members of the church at (probably) Rome (compare  Acts 19:33;  Romans 16:13 ). See Cyrenian .

The father of Judas Iscariot ( John 6:71;  John 12:4 the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American) omits;   John 13:2 ,  John 13:26 ).

(8) Simon Magus ( Acts 8:9 ff). See separate article.
