Batman: Holy Scriptures, Robin! Luke 9 says that Jesus sends out the twelve apostles to preach the good news of the kingdom of God.

Robin: Gosh, Batman, that's a big assignment!

Batman: Yes indeed, Robin! The apostles went out without money, without a change of clothes, and without a staff.

Catwoman: What a daring mission!

Batman: Indeed Catwoman, but Jesus said it was necessary to receive a blessing from God. To do this, the apostles must depend entirely on the hospitality of others.

Robin: That's really brave of them!

Batman: Yes, Robin, but Jesus also warned them that they would be persecuted in some places. He instructed them to shake the dust off their feet when they left such a place.

Riddler: Sounds like Jesus was preparing them for the worst!

Batman: Indeed, Riddler. But he also told them to heal the sick and preach the good news.

Penguin: A noble mission!

Batman: Yes indeed, Penguin. But Jesus also warned them not to be too concerned about what they would eat or drink. He said that God would provide.

Robin: Wow, Batman, this is really inspiring!

Batman: It certainly is, Robin. We should all take Jesus's words to heart.
