    Description

    Who was Agrippa?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Agrippa, also known as Herod Agrippa II, was the great-grandson of Herod the Great. He ruled over various territories in Judea during the time of Paul's imprisonment in Caesarea. Agrippa, along with his sister Bernice, visited Festus, the Roman governor. Festus presented Paul's case to Agrippa, who expressed his desire to hear Paul. (Act.25.13-27)

    The next day, Paul appeared before Agrippa and Bernice and made his defense, recounting his conversion and ministry. Agrippa, familiar with Jewish customs and controversies, listened intently. Paul appealed to Agrippa's belief in the prophets and challenged him to believe in Christ. Agrippa replied, "Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?" (Act.26.1-28).

    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.

    How the graph connects Agrippa9 of 9 entities the graph connects to Agrippa, in 3 groups: kinship 1, company 1, events 7. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.HerodChild of · 6 versesKinshipPaul’s defense of AccusationsTook part in · 3 versesCompanyJesus1 event · 1,160 versesPaul7 events · 182 versesProphet1 event · 157 versesBecoming1 event · 24 versesCaesarea1 event · 15 versesFestus4 events · 13 versesBernice4 events · 3 versesEventsAgrippa

    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.

    Where the story of Agrippa happensThe one place the claims about Agrippa reach, on a map of the world the text moves through, framed to them: Caesarea. Each dot is a coordinate from the gazetteer, sized by how many rows put Agrippa there. The coastline is a modern one, simplified; no border, road or settlement of any period is drawn, and no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.Caesarea
