GIL-ARBIOL, Carlos. The first followers of Jesus and the challenge of interculturality. Cuest. teol. [online]. 2018, vol.45, n.103, pp.57-72. ISSN 0120-131X.  https://doi.org/10.18566/cueteo.v45n103.a03.

After the death of Jesus, his followers had to face the falling short of their expectations. Sources refer to a series of intense experiences that were originated in the memory of the traumatic death of Jesus and that made possible to see the latter in a new light: important figures of the Old Testament (such as the servant, the righteous or Isaac) served as role models to overcome the failure and, thus, understanding and experiencing that Jesus and his teachings of the Kingdom of God were alive. The consequences they had to learn of this novelty pushed them out of their national and cultural boundaries, and made possible for them to undertake a project that, in fact, were to become the starting point for later models of interculturality.
