The passage (Zechariah 12:10) is so formulated that it runs approximately as follows, “A man who unites in himself the full force of egohood and is confronted with the human body, sees it wounded, pierced through with holes. For the higher ego force which in ancient times could not yet live within the inner self, pierces through, penetrates and makes holes in the body.” This is an impulse that runs through the evolution and development of mankind for the reason that as a result of the influence of Lucifer and Ahriman in pre- Christian times only a portion of the ego could be bestowed on man. And because the body is adapted only to the smaller portion and not to the whole force of the ego, it is worn down. It was not because this took place in the pre-Christian era but because in the case of Christ Jesus the full power of the ego entered all at once, and entered with the utmost strength into His bodily being, that this body had to appear not only with a single wound, as was the case with so many human individualities who carried a superego, but with five wounds. These were necessary because the Christ-Being, that is, the full ego of man, projected far beyond the bodily form appropriate for those times. It was for this reason that the cross had to be erected on the physical plane of world history, that cross that bore the body of Christ, a human body such as that of man would be if for a moment the whole of man's nature, a large part of which has been lost through the influence of Lucifer and Ahriman, were to live within one single human being.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VII","site_heading":"Christ's Inner Monologue and the Mystery of Golgotha","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.

Es ist die Stelle ungefähr so formuliert, daß gesagt wird (Sacharja 12,10): Der Mensch, der alle Kraft der Ichheit in sich vereint und sich dem menschlichen Leib gegenüber sieht, er sieht ihn durchstochen, verwundet, mit Löchern. Denn die höhere Kraft des Ich, die in den alten Zeiten noch nicht das menschliche Innere bewohnen konnte, durchlöchert, durchdringt, zersticht den Leib. Das ist ein Impuls, der deshalb durch die Menschheitsevolution läuft, weil wegen des luziferischen und ahrimanischen Einflusses dem Menschen in der vorchristlichen Zeit ein geringeres Quantum seines Ich mitgegeben werden mußte, als das Voll-Ich umfaßt. Und weil der Leib nur geeignet ist für das geringere Quantum und nicht für die ganze Kraft des Ich, deshalb zermürbt er. Und daher mußte — nicht weil es in der vorchristlichen Zeit geschieht, sondern weil mit dem Christus Jesus auf einmal das volle Ich in die Leiblichkeit eingezogen ist, weil da am stärksten die Ichheit eingezogen ist -, deshalb mußte diese Leiblichkeit nicht nur mit einer Wunde, wie es bei so vielen Menschheitsindividualitäten war, die ein Über-Ich getragen haben, sondern mit fünf Wunden angeschaut werden, mit fünf Wunden, die notwendig sind wegen des Hinausragens der Christus-Wesenheit, das heißt des Voll-Ich des Menschen, über die Form der Leiblichkeit, über die angemessene Form der Leiblichkeit. Wegen dieses Hinausragens mußte sich auf dem physischen Plan der Weltgeschichte das Kreuz erheben, das den Christus-Leib so trug, wie der menschliche Leib sein würde, wenn jemals in einem Augenblick die ganze Summe des Menschentums, von welcher der Mensch einen großen Teil durch den luziferischen und ahrimanischen Einfluß verloren hat, in einem Menschen weilen würde.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":273,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/139/1912-09-21/p018"}],"english":["GA 139/1912-09-21/p016"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":273,"en_words":301,"ratio":1.1,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.13,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7419,"original_word_count":6585,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Conrad Mainzer","identified_edition":"AP1986","book_title":"The Gospel of St. Mark","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA139/English/AP1986/19120921p01.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.
