Jesus taught the 10 Commandments specifically and generally throughout the NT.
He said obey the Commandments many times and He confirmed which Commandments in Jn. 15:10.
He also said that we should obey the hypocritical teachers of the Law, but not do as they do - as they did not obey anything.
Matt. 23:1-3
He also said in Matt. 5:19 that those who obey and teach the 10 Commandments (just as He did) were greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
He also said in Matt. 5:20 that a Christian's righteousness should exceed that of the hypocritical teachers of the Law who taught but did not obey the 10 Commandments which further teaches obedience to the Commandments. By this, He was declaring that those who don't even teach them have no chance at all of entering the Kingdom.

And, for the record, Jesus' followers and disciples were the first Christians, not Jews.
Jesus did not obey the Jewish Laws, He made fun of them repeatedly, and humiliated all those who pushed those Traditions of the Jewish Elders in public.
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former." (Matthew 23:23)
This clearly shows that He expected the Jews to follow more than just the ten commandments.
