    Description

    Troas in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Troas, also known as Alexandria Troas, was a city located on the western coast of Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), near the site of ancient Troy. The city was an important seaport and a significant center for trade and commerce. In the New Testament, Troas is mentioned several times in connection with the apostle Paul's missionary journeys. During his second missionary journey, Paul received a vision of a man from Macedonia pleading with him to come and help them while he was in Troas (Act.16.8-10). This vision prompted Paul and his companions to sail from Troas to Macedonia, marking a significant expansion of the gospel into Europe. Later, during his third missionary journey, Paul spent a week in Troas, where he preached late into the night (Act.20.5-12). During this visit, a young man named Eutychus fell asleep and fell from a window, but Paul raised him back to life. Paul also visited Troas on other occasions (2Cor. 2:12; 2Tim. 4:13), indicating the city's importance as a strategic location for his ministry.

    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.
