How did Jesus Choose Who to Save?

Jesus preformed many miracles that are documented in the bible.  He changed water into wine.  He healed the sick.  He raised the dead.  I'm sure he did more things that were not documented by the writers in the bible.

How did Jesus chose who to carry out his graces on?

At Capernaum, a paraplegic was healed when his friends lowered him down through a hole in the roof.  Jesus raised Jairus daughter, the widow's son at Nain and his friend Lazarus when he saw the faith and sorrow and faith of their relatives.

It seems to me that Jesus values not just the faith of a person but their friends and relatives.  He saved people who had faith, as well as the people close to them.

So it's important to to pray and have faith not just to save ourselves, but to save our friends and family.  Pray for the redemption of not only our soul but for the soul of those close to us and at the final judgement maybe Jesus will save them because our faith.
