    Description

    Who was father of Lazarus?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    The father of Mary, Martha and Lazarus is mentioned only once in the Bible, in Luk.10.38-42. This passage records Jesus visiting the home of Martha in Bethany. It notes that Martha had a sister named Mary. Jhn.11.1-2 specifies that Mary, Martha and Lazarus were siblings. Therefore, the unnamed man was the father of these three. No other details are provided about him in Scripture. He likely lived in Bethany along with his children.

    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 father of Lazarus3 of 3 entities the graph connects to father of Lazarus, in one group: kinship 3. 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.MarthaFather of · 12 versesLazarusFather of · 11 versesMaryFather of · 11 versesfather of Lazarus

    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.
