    Description

    Who was Mary?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Mary was a woman from Bethany, the sister of Martha and Lazarus, and a close friend of Jesus. When Jesus visited their home, Mary sat at His feet, listening intently to His teachings, while her sister Martha was busy serving. When Martha complained that Mary was not helping, Jesus commended Mary for choosing the better part by focusing on His words (Luk.10.39, 42). After the death of Lazarus, Mary fell at Jesus' feet, expressing her grief and faith in Him. Jesus was deeply moved by her sorrow and wept with her before raising Lazarus from the dead (Jhn.11.1-44). Later, during a meal at their home, Mary took a pound of expensive perfume and anointed Jesus' feet, wiping them with her hair. This act of devotion and love was criticized by Judas Iscariot, but Jesus defended her, stating that she had anointed Him for His burial (Jhn.12.3-8).

    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 Mary10 of 11 entities the graph connects to Mary, in 4 groups: kinship 2, company 2, ground 1, 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 · 3 events · 12 versesLazarusSibling of · 11 versesKinshipMary’s goingTook part in · 3 versesJudah’s consoling of Martha and MaryTook part in · 2 versesCompanyHomeLocated in · 2 versesGroundJesus5 events · 1,160 versesJudah4 events · 1,023 versesFeet1 event · 68 versesHair1 event · 37 versesPerfume1 event · 9 versesEventsMary

    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.
