| Matthew 14:5 | And wishing to put him to death, he feared the people: *because they esteemed him as a prophet. Matthew 21:26. | He feared the people. The fear of God corrects us, the fear of man restrains us, but removeth not the desire of evil. Hence it renders such as have been restrained by it for a time, more eager afterwards to indulge their evil propensities. (Glossa.) |
