“Martyrdom of Saint Simeon”
(“Menologion of Basil II”)
(the 900s)
(‘simeon’ was the 2nd bishop of ‘jerusalem’)
(some believe him to be the ‘simon’ mentioned in ‘new testament’ as the ‘brother of jesus’)
(when a doubter says something to the effect of “isn’t this the carpenter’s son? brother of simon? etc)

*’simon’ is described in the ‘new testament’ as 1 of the brothers of ‘jesus’*
.
(in ‘Matthew 13:55′, people ask concerning ‘Jesus’, “Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?” while in ‘Mark 6:3′ they ask, “Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?”)
(‘Catholic Church’ defined a doctrine that “brothers of Jesus” are not biological children of ‘Mary’, part of the doctrine of perpetual virginity of ‘Mary’, thus rejects the idea that ‘Simon’ was a biological son of ‘Mary’, suggesting that the so-called Desposyni were either sons of ‘Joseph’ from a previous marriage (in other words, step-brothers) or else were cousins of ‘Jesus’)
(the Catholic Encyclopedia suggests that ‘Simon’ may be the same person as ‘Simeon of Jerusalem’ or ‘Simon the Zealot’)
(‘Protestant’ interpreters usually take ‘Simon’ to have been a half-brother of ‘Jesus’)
(‘James Tabor’, in his controversial book The Jesus Dynasty, suggests that ‘Simon’ was the son of ‘Mary’ and ‘Clophas’)
.
*’robert eisenman’ suggests he was ‘simon Cephas’ (Simon the Rock), known in ‘Greek’ as ‘Peter’ (from petros = rock), who led the ‘Jewish Christian community after the death of ‘James’ in ’62 CE’*
