Context of Luke 8:44

42For 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, Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stopped. 45And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 46And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that power hath gone out of me.
