Luke 8:42

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.

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).
