TSK · John 7:13

The fear of man bringeth a snare; But whoso putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be safe.

These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him [to be] Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [it], lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first [day] of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.

wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.
