'Feared' in the Bible

The chief priests and the experts in the law heard it and they considered how they could assassinate him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed by his teaching.

But if we say, 'From people -- '" (they feared the crowd, for they all considered John to be truly a prophet).

Now they wanted to arrest him (but they feared the crowd), because they realized that he told this parable against them. So they left him and went away.
