Why was the crowd afraid when they saw Jesus heal the paralytic?

Matthew 9:8 (ESV)

8 When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

By means of the miraculous healing Jesus revealed his divine power to the crowd that were present. They acknowledged this, but were frightened because they had at first sided with the scribes. In the end, however, they proceeded to glorify God.1
