Context of Luke 8:42

40And it came to pass, that, when Jesus had returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him. 41And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, and besought him that he would come into his house: For he had one daughter only, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as he was going the people thronged him. 43And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed by any, 44Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stopped.
