Context of Luke 8:44

42His only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus went, the people were crowding around him. 43A woman who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years was in the crowd. No one could cure her. She came up behind Jesus, touched the edge of his clothes, and her bleeding stopped at once. 45Jesus asked, “Who touched me?” After everyone denied touching him, Peter said, “Teacher, the people are crowding you and pressing against you.” 46Jesus said, “Someone touched me. I know power has gone out of me.”
