Kadiri ya Egesipo, Simeoni alichaguliwa kwa kumshinda Thebutis, aliyetazamwa baadaye kama mzushi,[7] akaongoza Wakristo wengi kuhamia Pella ng'ambo ya mto Yordani kabla ya vita vya ukombozi vya Wayahudi kuanza mwaka 66 na Hekalu la Yerusalemu kubomolewa mwaka 70.
Kati ya miaka 107-117, akiwa mzee sana, alisulubiwa mjini Yerusalemu au mahali pa jirani chini ya kaisari Trajan[8].

- ↑ After the martyrdom of James and the conquest of Jerusalem which immediately followed, it is said that those of the apostles and disciples of the Lord that were still living came together from all directions with those that were related to the Lord according to the flesh (for the majority of them also were still alive) to take counsel as to who was worthy to succeed James. They all with one consent pronounced Symeon, the son of Clopas, of whom the Gospel also makes mention; to be worthy of the episcopal throne of that parish. He was a cousin, as they say, of the Saviour. For Hegesippus records that Clopas was a brother of Joseph. Eusebius of Caesarea, Church History, Book III, ch. 11.
