| fear--religious awe; under the impression that God's hand was specially in these events (compare Luk 5:26; Luk 7:16; Luk 8:37). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| And fear came ... - The word "fear" often denotes 'religious reverence.' The remarkable circumstances attending the birth of John, and the fact that Zechariah was suddenly restored to speech, convinced them that God was there, and filled their minds with awe and veneration. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Were noised abroad (διαλελεῖτο)
Were mutually (διά) talked of. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| And fear came - Seeing what they might have thought a paralytic affection so suddenly and effectually healed. Φοβος - This word certainly means in several places, religious fear or reverence; and in this sense it is used Act 9:31; Rom 3:18; Rom 13:7; Pe1 1:17; Pe1 2:18; Pe1 3:2. The meaning of it here is plainly this: The inhabitants of Hebron and its environs, who were well acquainted with the circumstances of Zacharias and Elisabeth, perceived that God had in a remarkable manner visited them; and this begot in their minds a more than ordinary reverence for the Supreme Being. Thus the salvation of one often becomes an instrument of good to the souls of many. The inhabitants of this hill country seem to have been an open, honest-hearted, generous people; who were easily led to acknowledge the interposition of God, and to rejoice in the comfort and welfare of each other. The people of the country are more remarkable for these qualities than those in towns and cities. The latter, through that evil communication which corrupts good manners, are generally profligate, selfish, regardless of God, and inattentive to the operation of his hands. |
37 Then [2532] the whole [537] multitude [4128] of the country [4066] of the Gadarenes [1046] round about [4066] besought [2065] him [846] to depart [565] from [575] them [846]; for [3754] they were taken [4912] with great [3173] fear [5401]: and [1161] he [846] went up [1684] into [1519] the ship [4143], and returned back again [5290].
16 And [1161] there came [2983] a fear [5401] on all [537]: and [2532] they glorified [1392] God [2316], saying [3004], That [3754] a great [3173] prophet [4396] is risen up [1453] among [1722] us [2254]; and [2532], That [3754] God [2316] hath visited [1980] his [846] people [2992].
26 And [2532] they were [2983] all [537] amazed [1611], and [2532] they glorified [1392] God [2316], and [2532] were filled [4130] with fear [5401], saying [3004], [3754] We have seen [1492] strange things [3861] to day [4594].
2 While they behold [2029] your [5216] chaste [53] conversation [391] coupled with [1722] fear [5401].
18 Servants [3610], be subject [5293] to your masters [1203] with [1722] all [3956] fear [5401]; not [3756] only [3440] to the good [18] and [2532] gentle [1933], but [235] also [2532] to the froward [4646].
17 And [2532] if [1487] ye call on [1941] the Father [3962], who [3588] without respect of persons [678] judgeth [2919] according to [2596] every man's [1538] work [2041], pass [390] the time [5550] of your [5216] sojourning [3940] here in [1722] fear [5401]:
7 Render [591] therefore [3767] to all [3956] their dues [3782]: tribute [5411] to whom [3588] tribute [5411] is due; custom [5056] to whom [3588] custom [5056]; fear [5401] to whom [3588] fear [5401]; honour [5092] to whom [3588] honour [5092].
18 There is [2076] no [3756] fear [5401] of God [2316] before [561] their [846] eyes [3788].
31 Then [3303] [3767] had [2192] the churches [1577] rest [1515] throughout [2596] all [3650] Judaea [2449] and [2532] Galilee [1056] and [2532] Samaria [4540], and were edified [3618]; and [2532] walking in [4198] the fear [5401] of the Lord [2962], and [2532] in the comfort [3874] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], were multiplied [4129].
