Explanation:

1. Silas or Silvan was the name of the companion that Apostle Paul took along in his second missionary journey.

Acts 15:40 says, "Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the believers to the grace of the Lord. 41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches".

2. The Sadducees are the political as well as religious groups of leaders who oppose the works of the believers and Jesus. They maintain that the law of Moses is the one and only law that the people must believe in and did not accept the very existence of angels or even the divinity of Jesus Christ.

3. In the Gospel of John chapter 1, we saw numerous instances of the prophet John referring to Jesus as "the Lamb of God (29)". He also says in verse 18 "No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known." Thus, the Lamb of God is John's viewpoint of Jesus in his Gospel.

4. Philip is the deacon and evangelist during the formation of the early church among the Christians. He was one among the seven who were tasked with looking after the believers in Jerusalem.

5. Lamb is the name referring to Jesus Christ in the book of Revelation. Revelation chapter 5:6 states "Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth".

6. Apocryphas are Inter-testimonial writings of periods during the Biblical age but with no authentic authorship proof. These writings are spurious, their origins and authorships unsure of. Some of these writings are used in the Catholic faith while the Protestants deemed them as apocryphal and are not used.

7. Scribes are those individuals who practice or study the laws of the land. They are also sometimes referred to as "Rabbis" meaning teacher.
