    Description

    Three Taverns in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Three Taverns (Latin: Tres Tabernae) was a staging post located on the Appian Way, approximately 33 miles (53 km) south of Rome. It was situated near the junction of the Appian Way and a side road leading to Antium (modern-day Anzio). The name "Three Taverns" suggests that it served as a rest stop and a place of lodging for travelers. When the apostle Paul was being escorted to Rome as a prisoner, some Christians from Rome journeyed to meet him at Three Taverns and the Forum of Appius (Act.28.15). This gesture of support and fellowship likely encouraged Paul as he faced an uncertain future in the imperial capital. The fact that the Roman Christians were willing to travel a considerable distance to meet Paul testifies to his reputation and the esteem in which he was held by the early church.

    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.
