'Feared' in the Bible

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly.

And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, for all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

But should we say, From men--they feared the people: for all verily held John to be a prophet.

And they sought to lay hold on him; and they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spake the parable against them: and they left him, and went away.
