"Revered" - English-Chinese translation

I'm wondering if somebody could help me please with a translation to mandarin of the word "revered"?

I found the character below which has the meaning of "revere"

敬

But I would like to know "revered", as in the person the symbol is referring to is revered. (respected and honored)

Thanks in advance for your help!

"revere" means 尊敬 or 敬畏

Thanks for the clarification... but I'm actually after the symbol for "revered" (if it exists). If not, can anyone translate "honored" or "respected" for me?

Thanks.

Ok, so far I have found this:

被敬畏

Is anyone able to confirm to me that it has the meaning of "revered", as described in the previous posts?

Thanks!
