== Uncharacteristic use of the concept of fear by Mark ==

[[Mark]] uses variations on the Greek word for fear -- ἐφοβοῦντο -- about a dozen time through his Gospel, but none of his other uses are about any women being afraid of [[Jesus]].  Rather, the [[Gospel of Mark]] is notably for its boldness, and for describing the fear by [[Herod]], [[Pharisee]]s and others in positions of power of Jesus and the people.
