Did Herod want to kill John the Baptist?
L'article examine les Évangiles de Matthieu et Marc sur la question de savoir si Hérode Antipas voulait réellement tuer Jean-Baptiste. Chaque évangile présente une perspective différente mais complémentaire: Matthieu décrit le désir de mort d'Hérode tempéré par la peur de la foule, tandis que Marc souligne l'influence d'Hérodiade et la fascination d'Hérode pour Jean. Cette analyse montre un Hérode déchiré entre ses émotions et les pressions externes.
Matthew 14.6-11 (King James Version) :But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist’s head in a charger.And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
