Exegesis
The main clause centers on ephobēthē {ἐφοβήθη | epho-bḗ-thē} “he feared,” a deponent verb that takes as its object the accusative ton ochlon {τὸν ὄχλον | tón óch-lon} “the crowd.”
In context — Matthew 14:5
And although he wanted to kill him, he was afraid of the crowd, because they regarded him as a prophet .
