    Description

    Myra in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Myra was a city in Lycia, a region on the southern coast of Asia Minor (modern Turkey). It is mentioned in the New Testament only once, in the account of Paul's journey to Rome as a prisoner (Act.27.5). Paul and his companions, under the custody of a centurion named Julius, sailed from Caesarea to Sidon, then to Myra. At Myra, they boarded an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy. Myra was a major port city in ancient times, known for its trade and commerce.

    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.

Every book of the corpus is drawn, its width its share of the 1,189 chapters. 65 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
