Bible verse
because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,
Luke 8:42 · BSB
The verses around it, from Luke 8.
38 The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,
39 “Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.
40 When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.
41 Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,
42 because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,
43 including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.
44 She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 “Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”
46 But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”
