Could Jesus ever say "no" to anybody? He's Jesus and I believe that He can say "no" but would He? Would He ever not heal someone? There are so many stories in the Bible of healing but are there any of Him saying "no I will not heal you." He kind of says it in Matt. 15:24 but then He still ends up healing the woman's daughter. The following verses state that Jesus was brought a large number of people and He healed them all. It doesn't state where the people came from, the woman mentioned in 15:24 was a gentile. Jesus came and healed so many Israelites but they still doubted Him.
Later in Acts the disciples are rounding the desert trying to find people to tell the Good News too. Maybe the only job Jesus had was to bring the Good News to the Israelites and to let the disciples travel and bring the testimony of the crucifix to the gentiles. Paul traveled so much farther then Jesus did. The gentiles were more accepting of who Jesus was and what He did then the Israelites. Look at all the times in the Old Testament that the Israelites turned their backs on God...and He still sent His Son to preach to them to try to save them and to die for them. It just shows God's commitment level and His heart for His people.
