better approach to work with models

this may seems a stupid question, and probably it is.
let's say i have to print all the users who are verificated, would be better doing something like this:

PHP Code:

class UserController extends BaseController {

    public function showEveryUser() {
        $userModel = new UserModel();

        $users = $userModel->where("is_verificated", 1)->findAll();

        ...
    }
} 


or creating a specific method in the UserModel like this:

PHP Code:

class UserModel extends Model {

    public function getEveryUser() {
        return $this->where("is_verificated", 1)->findAll();
    }
} 


and then calling UserModel->getEveryUser() in UserController->showEveryUser()?

In MVC format always use Queries in Model Section that is better practice. (We can reuse the code anywhere in the project by calling that particular model)
