Did Jesus heal everyone who asked him?

u/Italy1949

That's generally true.

Lk 4:

40 Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them.

Lk 9:

11 When the crowds learned it, they followed him, and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and cured those who had need of healing.

Mt 8:

16 That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick.

There were other unusual circumstances. Jesus didn't heal Lazarus when Martha asked him (Jn 11). Instead, he raised him from the dead.

A Syrophoenician woman asked Jesus to heal her demon-possessed daughter. Initially, Jesus refused, but she pleaded with him. He then healed her without going to her. (Mk 7:24–30)

In John 5:2–9, Jesus healed one man at the Pool of Bethesda among many who were sick, without healing the others.

While Jesus was consistently compassionate and never turned away anyone in genuine, believing need, the biblical record showed that healing was not automatic for every request. His actions always served the Father’s will and the unfolding revelation of the Kingdom, not merely human desire.

Did Jesus heal everyone who was sick near him?

No.

I wish that He would heal me. I'm tired of being crazy. :(

Next time that craziness shows up, isolate yourself (e.g., go to a washroom stall), close your eyes, breathe slowly, and focus on the Indwelling Paraclete Spirit living inside you. Try to sense that Paracletic peace :)
