Now we understand many of the questions inevitably raised by those possessed of wider powers of perception. John the Baptist dies the death of a martyr before the event of Golgotha is drawing near. He lives through the dawn leading to the Mystery of Golgotha, through the time of prophecies and predictions, through the days of rejoicing, but not through the period of lamentation and sorrow. When this same mood becomes manifest again in the personality of Raphael, do we not find it comprehensible that with such deep devotion he paints pictures of the Madonna and of children, and is it not obvious why he does not paint the betrayal by Judas, the bearing of the Cross, Golgotha, the Mount of Olives? Any existing pictures of these subjects must have been commissioned, for the essential being of Raphael finds no expression in them. Why are such pictures alien to Raphael? Because as John the Baptist he did not live to experience the Mystery of Golgotha.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Ancient Wisdom and the Heralding of the Christ Impulse","site_heading":null,"date":"1912-05-08","location":null,"word_count":178,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/143/1912-05-08/p022","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Dorothy S.

Er stirbt den Märtyrertod, bevor das Ereignis von Golgatha herannaht, er macht mit die Zeit der Morgenröte des Mysteriums von Golgatha, die Zeit der Prophezeiungen, der Vorhersage, gleichsam die Zeit des Frohlockens, er macht aber nicht mit die Zeit der Klage, des Leides. Wenn sich diese Gemütsstimmung nun fortpflanzt in die Persönlichkeit des Raffael hinein, finden wir es da nicht begreiflich, daß Raffael mit so großer Hingabe Madonnenbilder, Kinderbilder malt, verstehen wir da nicht, warum er keinen Verrat des Judas, keine Kreuztragung, kein Golgatha, keinen Ölberg malt? Die in dieser Art existierenden Bilder müssen auf Bestellung gemacht sein, in ihnen drückt sich wirklich nicht das Wesen Raffaels aus. Warum liegen gerade diese Bilder nicht in Raffael? Weil er als Johannes der Täufer nicht mehr mitgemacht hat das Mysterium von Golgatha.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":163,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/143/1912-05-08/p022"}],"english":["GA 143/1912-05-08/p022"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":163,"en_words":178,"ratio":1.09,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7582,"original_word_count":7177,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Dorothy S.
