Aquila and Priscilla
A Jew, native of Pontus, settled in Rome as a tentmaker, married to Priscilla or Prisca, expelled from Rome by decree of Claudius, settled in Corinth where Paul met them, and then moved to Ephesus.
At Ephesus Aquila and Priscilla instructed Apollos in the faith, and their house seems to have been a center of Church activity.
From the references to them in Rom. 16:3 it appears that they returned to Rome, but later on we find them again at Ephesus (2Tim. 4:19).
Eutychus
A lad at Troas who fell from a window and was restored by Paul
James
Brother of the Lord, known as James the Just. He occupied an important position in the Church of Jerusalem (Acts 12:17; 15:13; 21:18; 1Cor. 15:7; Gal. 2:9–12) and was probably the writer of the Epistle of James
Peter
Peter was the chief Apostle of his day; and after the death, Resurrection, and Ascension of the Savior, it was Peter who called the Church together and acted in the office of his calling as the one who possessed the keys of the priesthood (Acts 1:2).
It was through Peter’s ministry that the gospel was first opened up to the Gentiles (Acts 10–11).
Paul
Missionary of Acts and many Epistles
Lydia
A seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul. When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, ‘If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay.’ So she persuaded us. Thought to be Paul’s wife
Silas
Called Silvanus in the epistles, one of the “chief men” among the Christians at Jerusalem, sent to Antioch, remained at Antioch (15:34);
accompanied Paul on his second journey; at Philippi; left at Beroea; with Paul at Corinth
Luke
He was also the writer of the third Gospel and of the Acts. In all passages in the latter book in which the first person plural is used (Acts 16:10), we can assume that Luke was Paul’s fellow-traveler
He seems to have remained at Philippi for several years, as Paul found him there on his last journey to Jerusalem , and the two were together until their arrival in Rome. We learn that Luke was with Paul during his second Roman imprisonment.
Felix
Procurator of Judea at the time of Paul’s arrest by the Roman military authorities (Acts 23:24). He investigated the case and heard Paul speak in his own defense (Acts 24) but put off giving any decision, his reason being that he had “more exact knowledge concerning the Way”: he knew more about the case and about Christianity than the prosecutors had told him. He hoped Paul would have offered him some bribe; but none being offered on his recall from Judea, he left the Apostle still in prison.
Festus
Governor following Felix. Jews wanted to take Paul to Trial. Paul invoked “Provoco” to be sent to Rome
Sanhedrin
Jewish Governing Body
