Context of Luke 8:44

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. She came in the crowd behind Jesus and she touched the edge of his coat. Immediately she stopped bleeding. 45Jesus asked, ‘Who touched me?’ Everyone round him said, ‘It was not me. I did not touch you.’ Then Peter said to Jesus, ‘Master, there is a big crowd round you. Many people are pushing against you.’ 46Jesus said, ‘Someone did touch me. I know that something powerful went out from me.’
