This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

The Canaanite (ὁ Καναναιος)

Rev., Cananaean. The word has nothing to do with Canaan. In Luk 6:15; Act 1:13, the same apostle is called Zelotes. Both terms indicate his connection with the Galilaean Zealot party, a sect which stood for the recovery of Jewish freedom and the maintenance of distinctive Jewish institutions. From the Hebrew kanná, zealous; compare the Chaldee kanán, by which this sect was denoted.
