So ¹  the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, ²  Mary, for you have found favor ³  with God!

An ¹  angel of the Lord ²  appeared to ³  them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were absolutely terrified. ⁴ 

But when Jesus heard this, he told ¹  him, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.” ² 

In fact, even the hairs on your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid; ¹  you are more valuable than many sparrows.

“Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is well pleased ¹  to give you the kingdom.

He said, ¹  “In a certain city ²  there was a judge ³  who neither feared God nor respected people. ⁴ 

The ¹  chief priests and the experts in the law ²  were trying to find some way ³  to execute ⁴  Jesus, ⁵  for they were afraid of the people. ⁶
