A Life Spent Preaching the Gospel
Simon the Zealot was also known as Simon the Canaanite. He preached the Gospel in Egypt, North Africa, Mauritania (an island in the Indian Ocean), and in the islands of Great Britain. Some historians say he was crucified in Great Britain in 70 AD. Other historians say Simon left Great Britain and went to Persia, where he found Jude.
Together they steadfastly continued teaching and preaching until Jude’s death in 68 AD. Later that same year, Simon was painfully tortured and crucified by a governor in Syria.
A servant is not greater than the master. Since they persecuted Me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to Me, they would listen to you! The people of the world will hate you because you belong to Me for they don’t know God who sent Me. John 15:20-21.
