During the time that Jesus and the disciples were in Jerusalem Rome was occupying the area and feared an insurgence in the area. Any indication that a leader was becoming stronger made the Romans scared. If Jesus was going to raise up against Rome all those associated with him would be caught and exterminated. It turns out that over time the disciples were martyred.

Why did Jesus have diciples?

The term 'disciple' means more than just a follower of Jesus. It means, 'imitator' or one who carefully and as closely as possible, follows the example of Jesus' life. Jesus had 12 specially and personally trained disciples He called Apostles. The Book of Acts indicates that there were only 120 disciples who were closely following Jesus. These would spread His message of the coming Kingdom of God on Earth. It is quite difficult to be a true Christian in this world.
