'Frightened' in the Bible

The police officers reported these words to the magistrates. They were frightened when they heard Paul and Silas were Roman citizens

Then those who were about to interrogate him stayed away from him, and the commanding officer was frightened when he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had had him tied up.

While Paul was discussing righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, "Go away for now, and when I have an opportunity, I will send for you."
