    Description

    Olives Mount in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    The Mount of Olives is a mountain ridge located east of Jerusalem, separated from the city by the Kidron Valley. It is mentioned frequently in the Bible, especially in connection with the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Jesus often visited the Mount of Olives (Luke 21:37; 22:39; Jhn.8.1), and it was the site of many significant events, including His triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Matt. 21:1; Mrk.11.1; Luke 19:29, 37), His prophetic discourse about the destruction of Jerusalem and His second coming (Matt. 24:3; Mrk.13.3), His agonizing prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matt. 26:30; Mrk.14.26; Luke 22:39), and His ascension into heaven (Luke 24:50-51; Act.1.12).

    The Mount of Olives also held significance in the Old Testament. King David fled from Jerusalem via the Mount of Olives during Absalom's rebellion (2Sam. 15:30). The prophet Zechariah foretold that the Messiah would stand on the Mount of Olives when He comes to establish His kingdom on earth (Zech. 14:4).

    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.
