Context of Luke 8:41

39You must return to your home. Tell everyone about all that God has done for you.’ So the man went away. He went everywhere in the town and told all the people, ‘Jesus has done very good things for me.’ 40When Jesus returned to the other side of the lake, the crowd was very happy to see him. They were all waiting for him to come back. Then a man called Jairus came to see him. He was a leader at the Jewish meeting place. He went down on his knees at the feet of Jesus and said, ‘Please come to my house. 42I have one daughter. She is 12 years old and she is very ill. She will die very soon.’ So Jesus went along. A crowd of people went with him. They were pushing against him. 43There was a sick woman in the crowd who had lost blood for 12 years. She had paid all her money to doctors and now she had no money. But nobody could help her to become well again.
