And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
And great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there, belongs to the account in which Jesus on earth met the rich young man and asked him to give up absolutely all and follow Him to become a herald and evangelist carrying His message to the world. In Matthew 19 Christ taught His Father's law rather than revising it or establishing a new law. Matthew 19 shows the necessity of humility as seen in the person of Christ.
God sometimes requires complete surrender of property, while at other times He is willing for men to keep property and home and children so they may earn much more for the support of His cause. He deals in different ways with different men according to disposition, needs, abilities, and gifts. What each person ought to do is stand responsive to His call and with simple faith do what He directs.
