Thus in the marriage at Cana in Galilee, something of the profound mission of the Christ is expressed. He said: “My time will come in the future, it is not yet come. What I have to accomplish here has to do in part with what must be overcome through My mission.” He stands in the present and at the same time points to the future, thereby showing how He works for the age, not in an absolute but in a cultural, educational sense. It is the mother, therefore, who besought Him and said, “They have no wine.” But He replied: “What I have now to accomplish has still to do with ancient times, with me and thee, for My proper time has not yet come when wine will be transformed back again into water.” How could it have had any meaning at all to say, “Woman, what have I to do with thee?” when He then complied with what the mother had asked! It only has a meaning if we are shown that the present condition of humanity has been brought about because of the blood relationship and that a Sign has been performed in accordance with ancient usages which still needs the employment of alcohol in ordcr to point to the time when the independent ego shall have risen above the tie of the blood; it has a significance only when we are shown that for the present we must still reckon with ancient times which are symbolized by wine, but that a later time is coming which will be “His time.”","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"V.

Und da mußte er sagen: Es wird meine Zeit kommen in der Zukunft; jetzt aber ist sie noch nicht da. Was ich hier zu wirken habe, hängt zum Teil noch mit dem zusammen, was überwunden werden muß durch meine Mission. Er steht in der Gegenwart und weist zugleich in die Zukunft hinein und zeigt dadurch, wie er nicht im absoluten, sondern im kulturpädagogischen Sinne für die Zeit wirkt. Die Mutter ist es daher, die ihn auffordert und sagt: «Sie haben nicht Wein.» Er aber sagt: Das, was ich jetzt zu vollbringen habe, hängt noch mit den alten Zeiten zusammen, mit «mir und dir»; denn meine eigentliche Zeit,wo der Wein zurückverwandelt wird in Wasser, ist noch nicht gekommen. Wie hätte es auch überhaupt einen Sinn, zu sagen: «Weib, was habe ich mit dir zu schaflen?», wenn er dann doch das befolgt, was die Mutter gesagt hat?! Es hat nur dann einen Sinn, wenn wir darauf hingewiesen ‚werden sollen, daß durch die Blutsverwandtschaft der gegenwärtige Zustand der Menschheit herbeigeführt worden ist, und daß ein Zeichen gegeben wird im Sinne der alten Gebräuche, die noch des Einschlages des Alkohols bedürfen, um hinzudeuten auf die Zeit, da aus den Blutsbanden das selbständige Ich sich herausgestaltet, daß man also vorläufig mit dem Alten, das im Wein symbolisiert wird, noch rechnen muß, daß aber eine spätere Zeit kommen wird, die «seine Zeit» sein wird.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":247,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-23/p032"}],"english":["GA 103/1908-05-23/p024"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":247,"en_words":292,"ratio":1.18,"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.
