A:The disciples seem to have disappeared, with Peter playing a short cameo role to deny Jesus three times before his trial before the Sanhedrin. According to the synoptic gospels, not one of them was present at the crucifixion. Matthew and Mark are quite clear in that only women watched, even from afar off. Only John moves some of the women to the foot of the cross with the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' and allows Jesus to make arrangements for the care of his mother.

It is this interesting contrast to the role of Joseph of Arimathea that caused some scholars to notice that Arimathea could mean 'Best disciple town' in Greek, a play on words (originating in Mark's Gospel) because of the failure of the other disciples.

When Jesus was arrested, his disciples scattered and fled to different locations to avoid being arrested themselves. Prior to his arrest, one of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, had betrayed Jesus by leading the authorities to him.

A:

In the earliest account of the crucifixion, in Mark's Gospel, Mary Magdalene and other women watched from afar off. As no men were with them, and no one of Jesus's acquaintance was at the cross, the disciples had abandoned him. Only Joseph of Arimathea, the 'best disciple', was at hand. This was followed by Matthew, but in Luke, some of the disciples could be numbered among those of Jesus acquaintance who were with the women looking from afar off.

In John's Gospel, Mary Magdalene and other women are at the foot of the cross with the 'disciple whom Jesus loved, traditionally believed to be John. We still do not know where the other disciples are.

For what reasons should the disciples have expected Jesus to be raised?

No matter what we read back into the gospels in hindsight, they say that the disciples clearly did not expect Jesus to be raised.

None of them went to the tomb on Sunday morning, and they expressed surprise when he appeared to them.
