Description
Who was Crescens?
Crescens is mentioned briefly in 2Ti.4.10 as one of Paul's companions who had left him during his imprisonment in Rome. Paul states that Crescens had gone to Galatia, a region in Asia Minor where Paul had previously ministered and established churches. The reason for Crescens' departure is not specified, but it is possible that he went to Galatia to continue ministry work or to attend to personal matters.
Paul's mention of Crescens, along with others who had left him, highlights the challenges and loneliness he faced during his final imprisonment. Despite this, Paul remained committed to his faith and the spread of the gospel.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

Where this happens
The places the claims about this person reach, drawn where the gazetteer locates them. A point is where a row puts them and never where tradition does; no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.
The pattern
Where Crescens is named
Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.
1 verse across 1 of 66 books; 65 write the name nowhere. Named in 2 Timothy (1).
