    Description

    Patmos in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Patmos is a small Greek island located in the Aegean Sea, approximately 37 miles southwest of Miletus. It is mentioned in the New Testament in Revelation 1:9, where the apostle John states that he was on the island of Patmos "because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus." According to early Christian tradition, John was exiled to Patmos during the reign of the Roman emperor Domitian (AD 81-96) because of his faith and preaching. While on Patmos, John received a series of visions from God, which he recorded in the Book of Revelation. These visions include messages to the seven churches of Asia Minor, prophetic imagery, and a glimpse of the heavenly throne room. The island of Patmos has since become a place of pilgrimage for Christians, with several monasteries and churches commemorating John's exile and the writing of Revelation.

    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.

    Patmos is named in 1 verse — 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. 65 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
