'Feared' in the Bible

for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.

The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

If we should say, 'From men'" -- they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.

They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him, and went away.
