Simeon of Jerusalem was a first-century Jewish Christian leader who served as the second bishop of Jerusalem. Following the death of James, the brother of Jesus, the early community reportedly selected Simeon, the son of Clopas, to succeed him. Some traditions suggest he was a cousin of Jesus. He led many Christians toward Pella before the First Jewish-Roman War began. Historical accounts by Eusebius of Caesarea suggest he was executed in or near Jerusalem around 107 AD.
