LUKE 4:40-44

Verses 40-44 “40Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
41And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
42And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.
43And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
44And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.”

There were times when Jesus ministered to all who came to Him (v.40), but there were other times when He went to a quiet place to be alone, or left one needy place to go to another. When we do the will of God, we will minister to many, but not to all. Evidence of a need is not, in and of itself, proof that we are obligated to meet that need.
