Context of Luke 8:45
43A woman who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years was in the crowd. No one could cure her. 44She came up behind Jesus, touched the edge of his clothes, and her bleeding stopped at once. Jesus 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.” 47The woman saw that she couldn’t hide. Trembling, she quickly bowed in front of him. There, in front of all the people, she told why she touched him and how she was cured at once.
