Jesus gained disciples when he began preaching. Probably, his message appealed to people, so people began to follow him, especially the twelve. Some or all of the disciples remained with him for the rest of his life. All but John deserted him when he was arrested, but they gradually re-formed and began preaching to the nations. If you count all believers in Christianity as disciples, then Jesus has had disciples ever since.
