Luke 8:42

because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. ¹  As Jesus was on his way, the crowds pressed ²  around him.

Ge 44:20-22; Job 1:18,19; Job 4:20; Ps 90:5-8; Ps 103:15,16; Ec 6:12; Eze 24:16,25; Zec 12:10; Mr 5:24; Lu 7:12; Lu 8:45; Ro 5:12

¹ tn This imperfect verb could be understood ingressively: “she was beginning to die” or “was approaching death.”

² sn Pressed is a very emphatic term – the crowds were pressing in so hard that one could hardly breathe (L&N 19.48).
