Actually Jesus tell his followers to ensure they are armed and if they don't have the money to arm themselves, to sell their cloak to buy a weapon if required.

A few years later the Judeans were in full revolt against the Romans, and they slaughtered the entire garrison at Jerusalem then locked themselves in the city and into a few other places.
It didn't turn out particularly well (they were killed and the survivors sold in to slavery) but it took a while to retake the fortifications. Oh, and Jerusalem was basically levelled.

Yes, hence the wailing wall. The last piece of the old temple left.

If I recall, the Romans left a few towers and the odd wall to emphasise how much they'd removed, to make their point.
