'Feared' in the Bible

And although they were trying to arrest Him, they feared the people, because they regarded Jesus as a prophet.

They were filled with great fear, and said to each other, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”

The chief priests and the scribes heard this and began searching for a way to destroy Him; for they were afraid of Him, since the entire crowd was struck with astonishment at His teaching.

saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and had no respect for man.

The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put Him to death; for they were afraid of the people [who listened devotedly to His teaching, and who respected His spiritual wisdom].

His parents said this because they were afraid of [the leaders of] the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone acknowledged Jesus to be the Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue (excommunicated).
