δειλοί [2 verses](adj pl masc nom) "Fearful" is deilos, which means "cowardly", "miserable", "wretched", "low-born," and "poor." There are other Greek words that mean fearful,  for example deidêmôn. without the sense of being low-born. Like the Hebrew word for fearful, yare', deidêmôn just means having fear.  - There are many Greek words that mean "fearful" but this word has sense of low-born, This word is only used by Jesus twice, here and in the parallel in Matthew. The sense seems more like "cringing" giving the word a feeling of being inferior.
