'They Were Afraid' in the Bible

This the High Priests and Scribes heard, and they began to devise means to destroy Him. For they were afraid of Him, because of the deep impression produced on all the people by His teaching.

Or should we say, 'human?'" They were afraid of the people; for all agreed in holding John to have been really a Prophet.

So they came out, and fled from the tomb, for they were greatly agitated and surprised; and they said not a word to any one, for they were afraid.
