Luke 4:41-43
41 And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ. 42 Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them; 43 but He said to them, “I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.”
Jesus set many free who were possessed and healed some of conditions or diseases, but He often had to go to a quiet place away from the masses seeking healing. This He did to pray, and He plainly said His overriding purpose was to tell the good news of deliverance from sin's due penalty, freeing souls for eternity (not just bodies). So we now must focus on salvation, deliverance from judgement, not just being physically well or in comfort. That is eternal.
