Was the brother of John one of the first disciples of Jesus?

Yes. We are told that John the disciple (not John the baptist!) had a brother called James, who were both sons of a fisherman called Zebedee. Both John and James were disciples of Jesus, and were typical beligerent teenage boys - they were called, in fact, the 'Sons of Thunder'.


Did Jesus' disciples desert Jesus and flee?

Yes, most of the disciples deserted Jesus at the time of His arrest. The gospel of Matthew tells us this in chapter 26 verse 34 that "all the disciples deserted Jesus and fled". The Gospel pf Matthew was written by Matthew one of the twelve disciples, so as one who fled it appeared to him that all the disciples had deserted Jesus and fled. All four gospels tell us that the traitorous disciple, Judas, went and hung himself after betraying Jesus. But of the remaining 11 disciples the gospel of John tells us in chapter 18 verse 15 that the two disciples John and Peter followed Jesus and the solders to the High Priest's house and entered the courtyard there because John knew the High Priest, and that in John chapter 19 verse John was at the crucifixion and given care of Jesus' mother. So nine of the twelve disciples fled, one followed but fled in disgrace [Peter], one followed and was at the crucifixion [John ], and one hung himself [Judas]
