I am not sure I understand your question, but I will
attempt to answer it. The cause for Jesus attracting followers that were called
his Apostles was to recruit 12 men to help him in his ministry. This was to be an early
example of what the church would be like. So, Jesus went about and chose 12 Apostles to
help him - James, Peter, John, Judas, etc. After that, Jesus' purpose on earth was to
attract people to his gospel message, that they needed to repent from their sins and be
saved. That he was the way, the truth, the life. That no one could come to the Father
except through him. That he was sent by God. That he would die on the cross to pay for
the sins of mankind so that people would not have to pay for their own
sins.
The results? Many were called, but few were chosen.
Those that chose to follow Jesus followed him and learned from him. Some tried to
persecute him. The Jewish leaders tried to persecute him and trap him everywhere he
went. The more miracles he performed, the more the head priests feared him and
ultimately, convinced the Roman authorites that he was a zealot and against Rome, and he
was captured and crucified.

looking for, please repost your question.
