Luke 1:12

And Zechariah, visibly shaken when he saw the angel, ¹  was seized with fear. ² 

Jud 6:22; Jud 13:22; Job 4:14,15; Da 10:7; Mr 16:5; Lu 1:29; Lu 2:9,10; Ac 10:4; Re 1:17

¹ tn The words “the angel” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

² tn Or “and he was afraid”; Grk “fear fell upon him.” Fear is common when supernatural agents appear (1:29-30, 65; 2:9; 5:8-10; 9:34; 24:38; Exod 15:16; Judg 6:22-23; 13:6, 22; 2 Sam 6:9).
