Present-day man no longer has any feeling for such things, but the fact that this happened on the Sabbath meant something to a believer in the Old Testament: it was something out of the ordinary; hence the reason why the Jews were so indignant at the sick man was that he carried his bed on the Sabbath. That is an extraordinarily significant detail—people should learn to think when they read the Gospels. They should not consider it a matter of course that the sick man could be cured, that one now walked who for thirty-eight years had not been able to walk.

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.
