It means that there was a connection between the man's sickness that had persisted for thirty-eight years, and his sin. We need not enquire at the moment whether the sin had been committed in this life or in a former one. The point is that Christ infused into the other's soul the force to accomplish something that reached right down into his psycho-moral nature. Here again we see an intensification of the Christ force. Previously, all that was involved was something intended to produce only a physical effect; but here it is a question of a sickness of which Christ Himself said that it had to do with the man's sin. At this moment Christ was able to intervene in the sick man's very soul. The previous sign still required the presence of the boy's father, but here the Christ force acts directly on the sick man's soul.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"9.

Das heißt: Die Krankheit des achtunddreißig Jahre lang Kranken hing zusammen mit seiner Sünde. Ob diese Sünde begangen ist in diesem oder in einem früheren Leben, das wollen wir jetzt nicht erörtern. Für uns handelt es sich darum: Es hat der Christus in seine Seele die Kraft gegossen, etwas zu tun, was hineingreift bis in die moralisch-seelische Natur des anderen. Da haben wir wiederum eine Steigerung der Christus-Kraft. Vorher handelte es sich bloß um etwas, was so weit wirken sollte, daß Physisches geschah. Jetzt aber ist eine Krankheit da, von welcher der Christus selber sagt, daß sie zusammenhängt mit der Sünde des Kranken. Der Christus weiß in diesem Moment einzugreifen in die eigene Seele des Kranken. Vorher bedurfte es des Vaters noch; jetzt wirkt die Christus-Kraft in die Seele des Kranken hinein, was dadurch noch einen besonderen Zauber erhält, daß es am Sabbat geschieht. Der heutige Mensch hat keinen rechten Sinn mehr für solche Dinge. Für einen Bekenner des Alten Testamentes aber hatte es etwas zu sagen, daß es am Sabbat geschah. Das war etwas ganz Besonderes. Daher waren auch die Juden über den Kranken besonders erregt, weil er am Sabbat sein Bett trug. Das ist ein außerordentlich wichtiger Zug. Die Menschen sollten denken lernen, wenn sie die Evangelien lesen! Sie sollten es nicht für etwas Selbstverständliches halten, daß der Kranke geheilt werden konnte, daß derjenige, der seit achtunddreißig Jahren nicht hat gehen können, jetzt geht; sie sollten nachdenken über eine solche Stelle:","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":246,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/112/1909-07-02/p036"}],"english":["GA 112/1909-07-02/p048","GA 112/1909-07-02/p049"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":246,"en_words":283,"ratio":1.15,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.97,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7221,"original_word_count":7410,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Samuel and Loni Lockwood","identified_edition":"AP1948","book_title":"The Gospel of St. John","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA112/English/AP1948/19090702p02.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
