    Description

    Magadan in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Magadan, also known as Dalmanutha, is mentioned in the New Testament as a place Jesus visited after feeding the four thousand (Matthew 15:39; Mrk.8.10). It was located on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. Some scholars suggest that Magadan may be the same place as Magdala, the hometown of Mary Magdalene, one of Jesus' followers (Matthew 27:56, 61; 28:1; Mrk.15.40, 47; 16:1, 9; Luke 8:2; 24:10; Jhn.19.25; 20:1, 18). Mary Magdalene is described as a woman from whom Jesus had cast out seven demons and who supported Jesus' ministry. She witnessed Jesus' crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. The exact relationship between the names Magadan, Dalmanutha, and Magdala is uncertain, but they likely refer to the same general area on the Sea of Galilee.

    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.
