    Description

    Rhodes in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Rhodes is an island in the Aegean Sea, located off the southwestern coast of Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). It is mentioned in the Bible as one of the stops on Paul's journey to Jerusalem. After leaving Cos, Paul and his companions sailed to Rhodes and then on to Patara (Act. 21:1). Rhodes was known for its strategic location, its strong naval fleet, and the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The island had a significant Jewish population in the first century AD.

    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.

    Rhodes 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.
