Son of Man: A title that Jesus Christ used when speaking of himself (Luke 9:22; Luke 21:36). It meant the Son of the Man of Holiness. Man of Holiness is one of the names of God the Father. When Jesus called himself the Son of Man, it was an open declaration of his divine relationship with the Father. This title is found frequently in the Gospels. Latter-day revelation confirms the special meaning and sacredness of this name of the Savior (D&C 45:39; 49:6, 22; 58:65; Moses 6:57).
Son of David
Nazarene: A village among the hills west of the Sea of Galilee. Nazareth was the early home of Jesus (Matt. 2:23). Jesus taught in the synagogue at Nazareth, and declared that he fulfilled the prophecy in Isaiah 61:1–2 (Matt. 13:54–58; Mark 6:1–6; Luke 4:16–30).

The name Lucifer appears only once in the Bible (Isa. 14:12). Latter-day revelation gives more detail on Lucifer’s fall (D&C 76:25–29).
Satan: See Devil.
Tempter: The devil is the enemy of righteousness and of those who seek to do the will of God. He is literally a spirit son of God and was at one time an angel in authority in the presence of God (Isa. 14:12; 2 Ne. 2:17). However, he rebelled in the premortal life and persuaded a third part of the spirit children of the Father to rebel with him (D&C 29:36; Moses 4:1–4; Abr. 3:27–28). They were cast out of heaven, were denied the opportunity of obtaining mortal bodies and experiencing mortal life, and will be eternally damned. Since the time the devil was cast out of heaven, he has sought constantly to deceive all men and women and lead them away from the work of God in order to make all mankind as miserable as he is (Rev. 12:9; 2 Ne. 2:27; 9:8–9).

Beelzebub: the New Testament as Satan, the "prince of the demons". When Jesus drove out demons by the power of Beelzeboul. literally "Lord of the Flies"; Greek: βεελζεβούβ, Beelzeboub; Latin: Beelzebūb), with numerous archaic variants,[1] is a Semitic deity that was worshipped in the Philistine city of Ekron. In later Christian and Biblical sources he appears as a demon and the name of one of the seven princes of Hell.

Josephus: (37 – c.100 CE),[2] also Yoseph Ben Mattithyahu in Biblical Hebrew (Joseph son of Matthias) and Titus Flavius Josephus[3] was a 1st-century Romano-Jewish historian and hagiographer of priestly and royal ancestry who recorded Jewish history, with special emphasis on the 1st century CE and the First Jewish–Roman War which resulted in the Destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE. He has been credited by many as recording some of the earliest history of Jesus Christ outside of the gospels,[4] this being an item of contention among historians.
Josephus was a law-observant Jew who believed in the compatibility of Judaism and Graeco-Roman thought, commonly referred to as Hellenistic Judaism. His most important works were The Jewish War (c. 75 CE) and Antiquities of the Jews (c. 94 CE).[5] The Jewish War recounts the Jewish revolt against Roman occupation (66–70). Antiquities of the Jews recounts the history of the world from a Jewish perspective for a Roman audience. These works provide valuable insight into 1st century Judaism and the background of Early Christianity.[5]

Augustus Caesar: (23 September 63 BC – 19 August AD 14) is considered the first emperor of the Roman Empire, which he ruled alone from 27 BC until his death in AD 14
Cyrenius/quirinius: was a Roman aristocrat. After the banishment of the ethnarch Herod Archelaus in 6 CE, he was appointed governor of Syria.
According to the Gospel of Luke, Jesus was born while Quirinius was governor of Syria, specifically during a world-wide census. Historians, however, usually link Jesus' birth to the life of Herod the Great, who died in 4 BCE.

Tiberius Caesar: was Roman Emperor from 14 AD to 37 AD.
Herod the Great: client king of the Roman provinces of Judea, Galilee and Samaria (near present-day [Nablus]).[8] He was described as "a madman who murdered his own family and a great many rabbis."[9] He is also known for his colossal building projects in Jerusalem and elsewhere, including the rebuilding of the Second Temple in Jerusalem (sometimes referred to as Herod's Temple). Important details of his biography are gleaned from the works of the 1st century CE Roman-Jewish historian Josephus Flavius.
Herod Antipas: was the son of the Jewish king Herod the Great and his wife Malthace; he was full brother of Archelaus; beheaded John the Baptist; After inheriting his territories when the kingdom of his father Herod the Great was divided upon his death in 4 BC, Antipas ruled them as a client state of the Roman Empire. He was responsible for building projects at Sepphoris and Betharamphtha, and more important for the construction of his capital Tiberias on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee.
Herod Philip: Philip was the son of the Jewish king Herod the Great and his wife Cleopatra of Jerusalem. He was married to his relative Salome.
Herod Agrippa: martyred James apostle
Wise men: were a group of distinguished foreigners who were said to have visited Jesus after his birth, bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. They are regular figures in traditional accounts of the nativity celebrations of Christmas and are an important part of the Christian tradition.
The Gospel of Matthew,[2] the only one of the four Canonical gospels to mention the Magi, states that they came "from the east" to worship the Christ, "born King of the Jews." Although the account does not tell how many they were, the three gifts led to a widespread assumption that they were three as well.[3][4] In the East, the magi are traditionally numbers twelve.[4] Their identification as kings in later Christian writings is probably linked to Psalms 72:11, “May all kings fall down before him”.[4]

John the Baptist: The son of Zacharias and Elisabeth in the New Testament. John was sent to prepare the people to receive the Messiah (John 1:19–27). He held the keys of the Aaronic Priesthood and baptized Jesus Christ.
Nicodemus: In the New Testament, a righteous ruler of the Jews (probably of the Sanhedrin) and a Pharisee (John 3:1).
Andrew: son of Jonah, brother of Simon Peter, one of the Twelve Apostles called by Jesus during his mortal ministry (Matt. 4:18–19; Mark 1:16–18, 29). Gr. Andreas (manly)
Simon/Cephas/Peter: shimon bar Yonah (son of man named Jonah) Cephas (Aramaic) or Petros (gr.) meaning stone/rock along with James and John the “First Presidency” brother of Andrew, from Bethsaida, independent householder in Capernaum, married, prosperous fishing business with Andrew, James, and John; impulsive, impetuous; his death prefigured; tradition-crucified upside down in Rome. In the New Testament, Peter was originally known as Simeon or Simon (2 Pet. 1:1), a fisherman of Bethsaida living at Capernaum with his wife. Jesus healed Peter’s wife’s mother (Mark 1:29–31). Peter was called with his brother Andrew to be a disciple of Jesus Christ (Matt. 4:18–22; Mark 1:16–18; Luke 5:1–11). His Aramaic name, Cephas, meaning “a seer” or “stone,” was given to him by the Lord (John 1:40–42; JST, John 1:42). While the New Testament mentions some of Peter’s mortal weaknesses, it also illustrates that he overcame them and was made strong by his faith in Jesus Christ.
Philip: In the New Testament, Philip, of Bethsaida, was one of the original Twelve Apostles of the Savior (Matt. 10:2–4; John 1:43–45). Gr. Lover of horses. From Bethsaida, as were Peter, Andrew.
Nathanael: An Apostle of Christ and a friend of Philip in the New Testament (John 1:45–51). He came from Cana in Galilee (John 21:2). Christ said that Nathanael was an Israelite without guile (John 1:47). He and Bartholomew are generally thought to be the same person (Matt. 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:14; John 1:43–45). Heb. Gift of God. Otherwise called Bartholomew. Bar Tolmai: son of a man named Tolmai; from Cana;
James: One of the Twelve Apostles chosen by Jesus during his mortal ministry (Matt. 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13). Heb. Ya’akov. He and His brother John called Boanerges, “Sons of Thunder”; son of Zebedee, brother of John; first martyr apostle, beheaded by Herod Agrippa
John: Heb. Yohanan “God is gracious/merciful” called “the Beloved,” “the Revelator”. One of the Twelve Apostles in the New Testament, a son of Zebedee, and a brother of James. In his early life he was a fisherman (Mark 1:17–20). He is probably the unnamed disciple of John the Baptist mentioned in John 1:40. Later he received a call to be a disciple of Jesus Christ (Matt. 4:21–22; Luke 5:1–11). He wrote the Gospel of John, three epistles, and the book of Revelation. He was one of three who were with the Lord at the raising of Jairus’s daughter (Mark 5:35–42), at the Mount of Transfiguration (Matt. 17:1–9), and in Gethsemane (Matt. 26:36–46). In his own writings he refers to himself as the disciple whom Jesus loved (John 13:23; 21:20) and as the “other disciple” (John 20:2–8). Jesus also called him and his brother Boanerges, “sons of thunder” (Mark 3:17). There are frequent references to him in the accounts of the crucifixion and resurrection (Luke 22:8; John 18:15; 19:26–27; 20:2–8; 21:1–2). John was later banished to Patmos, where he wrote the book of Revelation (Rev. 1:9).

Twelve apostles: Simon Peter, James, John, Andrew, Philip, Nathanael, Thomas, Matthew, James, Jude, Simon, Judas ish Kerioth, latter Matthias

Samaritans: The biblical people who lived in Samaria after the northern kingdom of Israel was captured by the Assyrians. The Samaritans were partly Israelite and partly Gentile. Their religion was a mixture of Jewish and pagan beliefs and practices. The parable of the good Samaritan in Luke 10:25–37 shows the hatred that the Jews had developed for the Samaritans because the Samaritans had apostatized from the Israelite religion. The Lord directed the Apostles to teach the gospel to the Samaritans (Acts 1:6–8). Philip successfully preached the gospel of Christ to the people of Samaria and performed many miracles among them (Acts 8:5–39).
Pharisees: In the New Testament, a religious group among the Jews whose name suggests being separate or apart. The Pharisees prided themselves on strictly observing the law of Moses and avoiding anything associated with the Gentiles. They believed in life after death, the resurrection, and the existence of angels and spirits. They believed that the oral law and tradition were equally as important as the written laws. Their teachings reduced religion to the observance of rules and encouraged spiritual pride. They caused many Jewish people to doubt Christ and his gospel. The Lord denounced the Pharisees and their works in Matthew 23; Mark 7:1–23; and Luke 11:37–44.
Sadducees: A small but politically powerful party or caste among the Jews. They were perhaps best known for their rigid belief in obeying the letter of the Mosaic law and for rejecting the reality of spirits and angels and also the doctrines of resurrection and eternal life (Mark 12:18–27; Acts 4:1–3; 23:7–8).
Scribes: Scribes are frequently mentioned in the New Testament and are sometimes called lawyers or doctors of the law. They developed the law in detail and applied it to the circumstances of their time (Matt. 13:52; Mark 2:16–17; 11:17–18; Luke 11:44–53; 20:46–47).
Essenes: were a Jewish religious group that flourished from the 2nd century BCE to the 1st century CE that some scholars claim seceded from the Zadokite priests.[1] Being much fewer in number than the Pharisees and the Sadducees (the other two major sects at the time) the Essenes lived in various cities but congregated in communal life dedicated to asceticism, voluntary poverty, daily immersion, and abstinence from worldly pleasures, including marriage.
Levites: See Aaronic Priesthood. Its offices are bishop, priest, teacher, and deacon (D&C 84:30; 107:10, 14–15, 87–88). Anciently, under the law of Moses, there were high priests, priests, and Levites. The Aaronic Priesthood was revealed to Moses because the ancient Israelites rebelled against God. They refused to be sanctified and receive the Melchizedek Priesthood and its ordinances (D&C 84:23–25). The Aaronic Priesthood deals with the temporal and outward ordinances of the law and the gospel (1 Chr. 23:27–32; D&C 84:26–27; 107:20). It holds the keys of the ministering of angels, of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism (D&C 13). The Aaronic Priesthood was restored to the earth in this dispensation on 15 May 1829. John the Baptist conferred it on Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery on the banks of the Susquehanna River, near Harmony, Pennsylvania (D&C 13; JS—H 1:68–73).
