"the Son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many" (Mark 10.45).
How strange if Jesus came to minister to only people who are already regenerated. Rather, the truth is, He spoke to everyone, loved everyone, large crowds and small crowds, the meek and those in power, those who would become His disciples and those who would come close to being in His fold as disciples but then walked away from His teaching.
All kinds. Consider this God's sufficient grace given to us all to have the free choice. Therefore, none have a valid excuse before God.
The Son of man enters in place of the son of man to serve and with such keen interest in mankind. His love is for all His creation.
