    Description

    Emmaus in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Emmaus was a village located about seven miles (sixty stadia) from Jerusalem (Luk. 24:13). It is mentioned in the Bible in connection with the events following Jesus' resurrection. On the day of His resurrection, two of Jesus' disciples were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus, discussing the recent events surrounding Jesus' death and the empty tomb. As they walked, Jesus Himself joined them, but they did not recognize Him. Jesus explained to them the prophecies concerning the Messiah in the Scriptures. When they reached Emmaus, the disciples urged Jesus to stay with them, and as He broke bread with them, their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him (Luk. 24:13-35). The exact location of Emmaus is uncertain, as there are several possible sites that have been proposed based on ancient traditions and archaeological evidence.

    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.
