    Description

    Mysia in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Mysia was a region in the northwest of Asia Minor (modern Turkey), bordering the Aegean Sea. It is mentioned in the New Testament in connection with Paul's second missionary journey (Act.16.7-8). Paul and his companions, including Silas and Timothy, had traveled throughout Phrygia and Galatia, but were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach in Asia. When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them. So, they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas, where Paul received a vision of a man from Macedonia asking for help, leading them to cross over to Europe.

    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.
