and they were exceedingly afraid, and said to one another, who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

when they were come to Jesus, and saw him that had been possessed with the legion of demons, sitting in his clothes, and in his right mind, they were afraid.

Jesus, upon hearing that, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, "be not afraid, only believe."
