    Description

    Who was Lazarus?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Lazarus was the brother of Mary and Martha, who lived in the village of Bethany (Jhn.11.1). Jesus loved Lazarus and his sisters (Jhn.11.5). When Lazarus fell ill, his sisters sent word to Jesus, but by the time Jesus arrived, Lazarus had been dead for four days (Jhn.11.6,17). Jesus went to the tomb and called for Lazarus to come out, and Lazarus emerged, still wrapped in burial cloths (Jhn.11.43-44). This miraculous sign led many to believe in Jesus (Jhn.11.45). Later, Jesus visited Lazarus' home, where Martha served a meal and Mary anointed Jesus' feet with perfume (Jhn.12.1-3). The chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus because his resurrection caused many to believe in Jesus (Jhn.12.9-11). Lazarus' story demonstrates Jesus' power over death and foreshadows His own resurrection.

    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 Lazarus10 of 13 entities the graph connects to Lazarus, in 3 groups: kinship 2, company 3, events 5. 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.MarthaSibling of · 1 event · 12 versesMarySibling of · 11 versesKinshipBethanyAssociated with · 2 events · 12 versesDeath of LazarusTook part in · 4 versesJesus Going To Wake LazarusTook part in · 3 versesCompanyJesus7 events · 1,160 versesJudah2 events · 1,023 versesGoing1 event · 333 versesPassover1 event · 73 versesJudea1 event · 53 versesEventsLazarus

    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 Lazarus happensThe one place the claims about Lazarus reach, on a map of the world the text moves through, framed to them: Bethany. Each dot is a coordinate from the gazetteer, sized by how many rows put Lazarus 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.Bethany
