Context of Luke 8:41

39“Return to your home, and describe all that God has done for you.” So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole town all that Yeshua had done for him. 40As Yeshua returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they were all expecting Him. And here came a man named Jairus, a leader in the synagogue. Falling at Yeshua’s feet, he begged Him to come to his house, 42because his only daughter, about twelve years old, was dying. But as He made His way, the masses were crushing in upon Him. 43And there was a woman with a blood flow for twelve years, who could not be healed by anyone.
