". . . if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me".
John 12:32 (KJV)

Full text of His words given to inquires:

31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
John 12:31-36 (KJV)

Notice: Jesus says ALL men will be drawn to him.

It is at least one more proof that Christ's mission always was to the whole world, even if there was a training period where he was just trying to get countrymen Jews to join that and train.

Notice the Judaic crowd thinks that a theocratic state is supposed to happen. Wrong. The 'light' (in the next verses) is to believe that he is the fulfillment of all of Israel's destiny and mission. The darkness is to think Judaic theocracy is supposed to happen.

In Matthew it is written that among those that were brought to Messiah for healing were lunatics. There is a chance for you it seems.
