The task appointed to him was to guide spiritually the movement then making itself felt among the circles of the Therapeutac and the Essenes. There his influence worked. In the follower of Gautama Buddha we have to recognize the spiritual guide of the Essenes. During the reign of King Alexander Jannai (circa 125-77 B.C.), this Bodhisattva sent a particular individual to lead the Essenes; he was, therefore, the leader of the Essenes about a century before Christ. He is well known to occultism and to the external literature of the Talmud. Thus, a century before our era, before the appearance of Christ on earth, there was an individuality, who has nothing to do with the Jesus of the Luke-Gospel and nothing to do with the Jesus of the Matthew-Gospel, who was a guide and leader in the Essene Community. He is known under the name of Jesus, the son of Pandira, Jeschua ben Pandira. Jewish literature has fabricated many things regarding this individual, and these fables have recently been revived. He was a great and noble personality, and must not be confused, as is done by some students of the Talmud, with Jesus of Nazareth, the subject of these lectures. We recognize this Essene forerunner of Christianity in Jesus, son of Pandira, and we know that he was stoned to death by those who, at that time, saw blasphemy in the teachings of the Essenes. After being accused of blasphemy and heresy he was stoned and hanged on a tree, so that this disgrace might be added to the punishment already inflicted. This is an occult fact, and is also to be found in the literature of the Talmud.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":311,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/123/1910-09-04/p039","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1910-09-04","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 123/1910-09-04/p029","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/123/1910-09-04/p029"},{"locus":"GA 123/1910-09-04/p030","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/123/1910-09-04/p030"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","length_check":{"de_words":455,"en_words":411,"ratio":0.9,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Da wirkte sein Einfluß. Dieser Bodhisattva schickte sozusagen zur Leitung der Essäer unter der Regierung des Königs Alexander Jannai - ungefähr 125 bis 77 vor unserer Zeitrechnung - eine besondere Individualität in die Essäergemeinden hinein.
