The mother loved him very deeply and had often spoken with him about all the beauty and greatness of the gifts that had shown themselves in him since his twelfth year. But he had concealed from his mother in earlier years the inner schism caused within him, so that she had seen only what was great and beautiful. Therefore in this conversation which was really like a full confession, much was new to her; but she received it with a warm and tender heart. She had a profound and intimate understanding of his mood of soul, of his yearnings for all that he had been before his twelfth year. And so she tried to comfort him by speaking of all the noble and splendid gifts of which he had shown evidence since then. She reminded him of the revival of the great Jewish doctrines, the Jewish wisdom-teachings and codes of the law. She spoke of all that had revealed itself through him. But his heart grew heavy while his mother was speaking in this way, prizing so highly what he himself felt had been surmounted. And he replied: Be that as it may. If through me or through another it were possible to-day to bring new life to all the spiritual treasures of ancient Hebrew wisdom, what significance would it have for mankind? All this is, in reality, meaningless. If among the humanity around us to-day there were any with ears still able to hear the wisdom of the ancient prophets, then a revival of that wisdom would be of value. But if Elias himself were to come to-day—so said Jesus of Nazareth—and were to proclaim to our humanity the greatest of his experiences in the realms of heaven—there are no men who would listen to the wisdom of Elias, of the older prophets, even of Moses, and back to Abraham. Everything these prophets might proclaim to-day would fall upon deaf ears. Their words would be preached to the winds. Everything that I believed had been bestowed upon me is valueless for the world to-day.—","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture V","site_heading":"Jesus's Inner Crisis and the Birth of the Lord's Prayer","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.

Die Mutter liebte ihn ungeheuer, und sie hatte öfters mit ihm gesprochen über all das Schöne und Große, das sich seit seinem zwölften Jahre in ihm gezeigt hatte. Ein immer intimeres, edleres, schöneres Verhältnis hatte sich herausgebildet zu dieser Stiefmutter. Aber seinen inneren Zwiespalt hatte er bisher auch dieser Mutter verschwiegen, so daß sie nur das Schöne und Große gesehen hatte. Sie hatte nur gesehen, wie er immer weiser und weiser wurde, wie er immer tiefer eindrang in die ganze Menschheitsevolution. Deshalb war von demjenigen, was wie eine Art Generalbeichte mit diesem Gespräch stattfand, vieles neu für sie, aber sie nahm es auf mit innigem, warmem Herzen. Es war in ihr wie ein unmittelbares Verstehen für seine Traurigkeit, seine Gefühlsstimmung, dessen, daß er sich zurücksehnte zu dem, was er in sich hatte vor seinem zwölften Jahre. Deshalb suchte sie ihn zu erheben und zu trösten, indem sie anfing zu sprechen von allem, was seitdem in ihm so schön und herrlich zutage getreten sei. Sie erinnerte ihn an all das, was ihr durch ihn bekanntgeworden war von der Wiedererneuerung der groBen Lehren, Weisheitssprüche und Gesetzesschätze des Judentums. Was alles durch ihn zutage getreten ist, davon sprach sie mit ihm. Es wurde ihm aber nur immer schwerer ums Herz, wenn er so die Mutter sprechen hörte, so schätzend das, was er innerlich doch eigentlich als überwunden fühlte. Und endlich erwiderte er: Ja, das mag alles sein. Aber ob durch mich oder durch einen anderen heute erneuert werden können all die alten, herrlichen Weisheitsschätze des Judentums, was hätte das alles für eine Bedeutung für die Menschheit? Es ist im Grunde doch alles bedeutungslos, was in solcher Art zutage tritt. Ja, wenn es heute eine Menschheit gäbe um uns herum, die Ohren hätte, den alten Propheten noch zuzuhören, dann wäre es für diese Menschheit nützlich, wenn erneuert werden könnten die Weisheitsschätze des alten Prophetentums. Aber selbst wenn jemand so sprechen könnte, wie die alten Propheten gesprochen haben, selbst wenn Elias heute käme — so sagte Jesus von Nazareth - und unserer Menschheit verkünden wollte dasjenige, was er als Bestes erfahren hat in den Himmelsweiten: es sind ja nicht die Menschen da, die Ohren hätten zu hören die Weisheit des Elias, der älteren Propheten, auch des Moses, ja bis Abraham hinauf. Alles was diese Propheten verkündeten, wäre heute zu künden unmöglich. Ihre Worte würden ungehört im Winde verhallen! Und so ist ja alles, was ich in meiner Seele halte, wertlos.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":430,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/148/1913-10-06/p006"}],"english":["GA 148/1913-10-06/p005"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":430,"en_words":360,"ratio":0.84,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 148/1913-10-06/p006"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.89,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9161,"original_word_count":10297,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Dorothy S.
