Luke 1:12

Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.} was seized with fear. ^{▼▼ 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).}
