Building an army
Perhaps the Disciples were unaware of it at the time, but what Jesus was doing was building an army to fight the Gentiles and the corrupt establishment.
The call to arms however had to be stealthy.
Rallying support in the outer communities, beyond the full reach of Gentile control was a smart strategy.
The Disciples needed to be able to move quickly, spread the word of God, all the while being seen as poor (perhaps mad) beggars. They were well trained for this.
This knight wonders if a similar army is rising now - an army to wage war on the evil Elite?
