    Description

    Iconium in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Iconium was a city in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) that was visited by the apostle Paul during his missionary journeys. After being forced to leave Antioch in Pisidia, Paul and Barnabas went to Iconium, where they preached in the synagogue and many Jews and Gentiles believed (Act.13.51; 14:1). However, the unbelieving Jews stirred up opposition, and Paul and Barnabas had to flee to Lystra and Derbe (Act.14.19, 21). Later, Paul revisited Iconium to strengthen the disciples (Act.16.2). In his letter to Timothy, Paul mentions the persecutions he endured in Iconium (2Ti.3.11). Iconium was located in the region of Lycaonia and was an important city in the Roman province of Galatia. Today, it is known as Konya, Turkey.

    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.

    Iconium is named in 6 verses — occurrences of the name in the Hebrew or Greek, counted in the versification of the Berean Standard Bible (v5.7). Every book of the corpus is drawn, its width its share of the 1,189 chapters. 64 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
