    Description

    Nain in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Nain was a town in Galilee, mentioned in the New Testament as the place where Jesus raised a widow's son from the dead (Luke 7:11-17). As Jesus approached the town gate, He encountered a funeral procession for the only son of a widow. Moved with compassion, Jesus touched the coffin and commanded the young man to arise, and he was restored to life. This miracle was witnessed by a large crowd and led many to recognize Jesus as a great prophet. The exact location of Nain is not certain, but it is believed to be the modern village of Nein, located about 9 miles southeast of Nazareth.

    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.
