He appealed to those who had broken this principle of mere blood relationship, and the important thing He had to demonstrate, He demonstrated not in Judea, but outside in Galilee. Galilee was the region where peoples of every race and tribe had mixed together. The term Galilean means “mixed-breed,” “mongrel.” Christ Jesus went to the Galileans, to those who were most mixed. Out of a human reproduction such as this, brought about by a mingling of blood, something arose that was no longer dependent upon a physical basis of love. Therefore what He wished to say, was said at a marriage. But why at a marriage? Because at the time of a marriage reference can be made to the reproduction of human beings. And what He wished to demonstrate, He did not wish to show at a place where marriage took place within narrow boundaries, within the blood-bond, but where it was entered into independently of the tie of blood. Therefore what He had to say was said at a marriage—and at a marriage in Galilee. If we wish to understand what is expressed here, we must again turn our attention to the whole of human evolution.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"V.

Galiläa war das Gebiet, wo Völker aus allen möglichen Stämmen und Völkern gemischt waren. Der «Galiläer» bedeutet der «Mischling». Zu den Galiläern geht der Christus Jesus, zu denen, die am meisten gemischt sind. Und aus dem, was solcher durch Mischung bewirkten Fortpflanzung der Menschheit zugrunde liegt, soll das hervorgehen, was eben nicht mehr an die materielle Grundlage der Liebe gebunden ist. Daher wird das, was er zu sagen hat, auf einer Hochzeit gesagt. Warum gerade auf einer Hochzeit? Weil durch die Hochzeit hingedeutet werden kann auf die Fortpflanzung der Menschheit. Und das, was er zeigen will, zeigt er nicht da, wo man nur heiratet in engeren Grenzen, wo man nur heiratet innerhalb der Blutsbande, sondern da, wo man unabhängig von den Blutsbanden heiratet. Deshalb wird das bei einer Hochzeit gesagt, und zwar bei einer Hochzeit in Galiläa. Und wenn wir verstehen wollen, was hier gezeigt wird, dann müssen wir wiederum einen Blick werfen auf die ganze Entwickelung der Menschheit.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":199,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-23/p021"}],"english":["GA 103/1908-05-23/p015"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":199,"en_words":204,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7320,"original_word_count":6933,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Maud B.
