Usage: The name Συμεών appears in the New Testament, referring to several individuals, including a patriarch, a prophet, and an apostle. Context: Συμεών (Symeōn) is a name found in the New Testament, associated with several key figures: • Simeon, the Son of Jacob: Although not directly mentioned in the New Testament, Συμεών is the Greek form of the name of Jacob's second son by Leah, who is one of the twelve patriarchs of Israel. His descendants formed the tribe of Simeon. • Simeon, the Righteous Man in Jerusalem: In the Gospel of Luke, Συμεών is described as a devout and righteous man who awaited the consolation of Israel. The Holy Spirit revealed to him that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ. When Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple, Simeon took Him in his arms and praised God, declaring Jesus as a light for revelation to the Gentiles and glory to Israel (Luke 2:25-32, BSB). • Simeon, also called Niger: In the Book of Acts, Συμεών is listed among the prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch. He is noted for his role in the early Christian community and is mentioned alongside Barnabas, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen, and Saul (Acts 13:1, BSB). • Simeon Peter (Simon Peter): In some manuscripts, the apostle Peter is referred to as Συμεών Πέτρος (Symeōn Petros) in 2 Peter 1:1.
