'''Rav Symeon the son of Clopas''' (fl.c.86CE) often confused elsewhere with [[Peter]], [[Paul]] and apparently probably identical with [[Shimeon Kippah]] is also known in the Teliya as '''Hakham Elijah''' and is accredited in Judaism as the Jew who canonized the NT by order of the Sanhedrin. The author of the [[Machzor Vitry]] quotes Rabbeinu Tam as saying that he was the Shaliakh of Peter. Epiphanius said that his Father, Clopas, is said to have had a brother called Joseph Panther. One version of the Teliya says he was the brother of Magdalena. These claims might refer to his brother in law Joses ben Pandera the father of Yemakh Shmo Ben Stada. Symeon fought against the feasts of the Notzrim and got them to observe feasts of HaShem appropriately under new names.
