Luke 23:8 in Context — Luke 23
6 Quand Pilate entendit parler de la Galilée, il demanda si cet homme était Galiléen;
7 et, ayant appris qu’il était de la juridiction d’Hérode, il le renvoya à Hérode, qui se trouvait aussi à Jérusalem en ces jours-là.
8 Lorsque Hérode vit Jésus, il en eut une grande joie; car depuis longtemps, il désirait le voir, à cause de ce qu’il avait entendu dire de lui, et il espérait qu’il le verrait faire quelque miracle.
9 Il lui adressa beaucoup de questions; mais Jésus ne lui répondit rien.
10 Les principaux sacrificateurs et les scribes étaient là, et l’accusaient avec violence.
