Reason for The Crusades explained

[Matthias]

“I am sending you like lambs into a pack of wolves.“

(Matthew 10:16, CEV)

The lamb of God sending his lambs, his followers, into a pack of wolves.

Harmless as doves.

What happened to the Lamb of God when he was sent into a pack of wolves?

What happened to the lambs of God, the apostles, when they were sent into a pack of wolves?

What happened to the lambs of God, who weren’t apostles, when they were sent into a pack of wolves?

What happened to the pack of wolves?

 

[Matthias]

Will you be as wise as a serpent and as harmless as a dove on the next crusade?, Crusader recruiter. Why do I ask? Because you were neither of those in the crusades of the past.
