His disciples answered, “You see how the people are crowding you; why do you ask who touched you?”
Then Jesus started off with him. So many people were going along with Jesus that they were crowding him from every side.
At once Jesus knew that power had gone out of him, so he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it.
Jesus asked, “Who touched me?” Everyone denied it, and Peter said, “Master, the people are all around you and crowding in on you.”
When the sun was beginning to set, the twelve disciples came to him and said, “Send the people away so that they can go to the villages and farms around here and find food and lodging, because this is a lonely place.”
