His disciples said to him, “Look at all these people crowding around you! How can you ask who touched you?”
Jesus went with Jairus. Many people followed along and kept crowding around.
At that moment Jesus felt power go out from him. He turned to the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
But Jesus turned to see who had touched him.
“Who touched me?” Jesus asked. While everyone was denying it, Peter said, “Master, people are crowding all around and pushing you from every side.”
Late in the afternoon the twelve apostles came to Jesus and said, “Send the crowd to the villages and farms around here. They need to find a place to stay and something to eat. There is nothing in this place. It is like a desert!”
