Simula nang umakyat sa langit si Hesukristo, nagkawatak watak na ang kanyang mga apostoles dala dala ang kanyang mga aral. Lumawak nang lumawak ang saklaw ng mga karunungang hatid ng mga alagad ni Kristo hanggang sa mapadpad ang isa sa kanyang mga apostoles sa Roma. Naging maimpluwensya ang pangalang Hesus.
