    Description

    Who was Andrew?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Andrew was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ and the brother of Simon Peter. He was originally a disciple of John the Baptist but later followed Jesus after hearing John's testimony about Him. Andrew is known for bringing his brother Peter to Jesus, recognizing Him as the Messiah.

    Throughout the Gospels, Andrew is mentioned several times, often in connection with his brother Peter. He was present at significant events, such as the feeding of the five thousand, where he brought a boy with five loaves and two fish to Jesus. Andrew was also among the disciples who asked Jesus about the signs of His coming and the end of the age.

    After Jesus' ascension, Andrew continued to play a role in the early church. He was present in the upper room with the other disciples as they waited for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost.

    According to church tradition, Andrew preached the gospel in various regions, including Greece and Asia Minor, and was martyred by crucifixion on an X-shaped cross, which has become known as St. Andrew's Cross. His faithfulness and dedication to spreading the message of Christ have made him an important figure in Christian history.

    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 Andrew10 of 17 entities the graph connects to Andrew, in 2 groups: kinship 1, events 9. 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.PeterSibling of · 12 events · 179 versesKinshipJesus11 events · 1,160 versesJohn1 event · 89 versesJohn2 events · 35 versesJames2 events · 19 versesPhilip3 events · 15 versesThomas1 event · 12 versesChinnereth1 event · 10 versesJames1 event · 8 versesMatthew1 event · 8 versesEventsAndrew

    Places

    Where this happens

    A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
