Context of Luke 8:47

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.’ The woman knew that she could not hide herself. So she was very afraid. She came to Jesus and she went down on the ground in front of him. She spoke so that all the people could hear her. She said, ‘I wanted to be well again, so I touched him. When I did that, I became well immediately.’ 48Jesus said to her, ‘Young woman, you are well again because you believed in me. Go now and have peace in your mind.’ 49While Jesus was still speaking, someone arrived from Jairus' house. ‘Your daughter is dead,’ he told Jairus. ‘Do not ask the teacher to come now.’
