From these Gospels we learn that for thirty years the man in question prepared for the great moment when he could become the vehicle for the Sun Being. And because the Being we call Christ is so universal, so all-embracing, the preparation of the bodily sheaths able to receive Him could not be a simple process. Very specially prepared physical and etheric sheaths were needed to receive the descending Sun Being.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture XII","site_heading":"Divine Beings Descending: Christ as the Greatest Avatar","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Von jenem Menschen aber, der entgegenwächst, um aufnehmen zu können dieses Sonnenwesen, berichten uns nur die Schreiber des Matthäus- und des Lukas-Evangeliums. Sie berichten, wie der Mensch dreißig Jahre entgegenstrebt dem großen Augenblick, da er das Sonnenwesen in sich selber aufnehmen kann. Und weil die Wesenheit, die wir als die Christus-Wesenheit bezeichnen, eine so universelle, eine so umfassende ist, so genügt es nicht, daß in einfacher Weise die körperlichen und leiblichen Hüllen zubereitet werden, welche dieses Sonnenwesen aufnehmen können. Dazu ist notwendig, daß dem heruntersteigenden Sonnenwesen entgegenwächst eine ganz besonders zubereitete physische und ätherische Hülle. Woher sie genommen worden sind, haben wir gesehen, als wir das Matthäus-Evangelium betrachteten. Aber aus derselben Wesenheit heraus, aus welcher im Sinne des Matthäus-Evangeliums die physische und ätherische Hülle für jenes Sonnenwesen zubereitet worden sind, die aus den zweiundvierzig Generationen des hebräischen Volkes heraus vorbereitet worden sind, aus denselben Hüllen konnte nicht zugleich vorbereitet werden die astralische Hülle und nicht der Träger des eigentlichen Ich. Dafür war eine besondere Veranstaltung nötig, die durch eine andere menschliche Wesenheit erzielt wurde, von der uns das Lukas-Evangelium erzählt, indem es uns die Jugendgeschichte des sogenannten nathanischen Jesus berichtet. Dann haben wir gesehen, daß die beiden eins werden, der Matthäus- und der Lukas-Jesus, indem die Wesenheit, die als Ich-Wesenheit zuerst Besitz ergriff von den leiblichen Hüllen, welche das Matthäus-Evangelium schildert, nämlich die Zarathustra-Individualität, den zwölfjährigen Matthäus-Jesus verläßt und hinüberdringt in den nathanischen Jesus des Lukas-Evangeliums, um dort weiterzuleben und auszubilden den astralischen Leib und Ich-Träger mit den Errungenschaften, welche sie sich angeeignet hatte in dem besonders zubereiteten physischen Leibe und Ätherleibe des Matthäus-Jesus, damit dann die oberen Glieder heranreifen können und die heruntersteigende Wesenheit aus den oberen Regionen im dreißigsten Jahre aufnehmen können.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":306,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/123/1910-09-12_02/p009"}],"english":["GA 123/1910-09-12_02/p010","GA 123/1910-09-12_02/p011"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":306,"en_words":322,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 123/1910-09-12_02/p009"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10733,"original_word_count":10721,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Dorothy S.
