One day he came to a gentile place where the population was neglected. The place was abandoned by its priests. In this place was a place of sacrifice, but it was deserted. The priests had fled because an evil disease had broken out among the people of the place. Such places of sacrifice and the cultic practices at these places of sacrifice were derived from the mysteries. What had been revealed in the mysteries passed into the ceremonial acts at these places of sacrifice. To understand such a thing, one must be a little aware of the significance of ceremonial sacrifice. Through the way the sacrificial rites are performed and the prayers that permeate them, spiritual forces do indeed flow down onto the altars, so to speak. But Jesus of Nazareth, when he came to the place of worship in the place I have mentioned, no longer found the good powers that had once flowed down on the altars during the ancient sacrifices. He found the places of worship, abandoned by their priests, populated by demonic forces that were around the altar. Even the neglected, sickly, and downtrodden people of this pagan place were deeply impressed when they saw Jesus of Nazareth, whom they did not know, but who radiated an atmosphere of love. At first they thought that one of their old priests, who had abandoned them, had returned and wanted to offer them their pagan sacrifices. Of course, Jesus of Nazareth did not want to offer the pagan sacrifice, but he went among the people. There he was seized by the power of the demons that were around the altar, and he fell as if dead. When the people saw this, they fled, and in his stupor, Jesus of Nazareth still saw the people being pursued by the demonic forces. Then he lost his usual consciousness and was transported into spiritual worlds. And now he could perceive what had once been revealed to the ancient mystery priests in purity and truth; he could perceive the ancient pagan revelations, just as he had perceived the Jewish revelations in the voice of the great Bath-Kol. And now he could hear the ancient pagan revelation, which can be repeated in today's language in the following way:","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Er traf eines Tages einen heidnischen Ort, in dem die Bevölkerung verwahrlost war. Der Ort war verlassen von seinen Priestern. An diesem Ort war eine Opferstätte, aber sie war verödet. Die Priester waren weggeflohen, weil eine böse Krankheit unter den Leuten des Ortes ausgebrochen war. Solche Opferorte und die Kultusverrichtungen an diesen Opferstätten leiteten sich her aus den Mysterien. Was in den Mysterien sich geoflenbart hatte, das ging über in die zeremoniellen Handlungen an diesen Opferstätten. Um eine solche Sache zu verstehen, muß man ein wenig auf die Bedeutung der zeremoniellen Opferung aufmerksam sein. Durch die Art, wie die Opferhandlungen vorgenommen werden, und dutch die Gebete, die diese Opferhandlungen durchdringen, fließen tatsächlich spirituelle Kräfte sozusagen auf die Altäre herab. Aber Jesus von Nazareth fand, als er zur Kultstätte des erwähnten Ortes kam, nicht mehr die guten Kräfte, die einstmals bei den alten Opfern heruntergeflossen waren auf die Altäre. Er fand die Kultstätten, die von ihren Priestern verlassen waren, bevölkert von Dämonengewalten, die um den Altar herum waren. Selbst die verwahrlosten, siechen, herabgekommenen Menschen dieses heidnischen Ortes hatten einen tiefen Eindruck, als sie herankommen merkten Jesus von Nazareth, den sie ja nicht kannten, der aber eine Atmosphäre der Liebe ausströmte. Sie glaubten zuerst, einer ihrer alten Priester, der sie verlassen hatte, käme wieder und wolle ihnen ihre heidnischen Opfer darbringen. Jesus von Nazareth wollte selbstverständlich nicht das heidnische Opfer darbringen, aber er trat unter die Leute. Da wurde er erfaßt von der Kraft der Dämonen, die um den Altar waren, und er fiel wie tot hin. Als die Leute das sahen, flohen sie, und im Betäubtwerden sah Jesus von Nazareth noch, wie die Leute von den Dämonengewalten verfolgt wurden. Dann verlor er das gewöhnliche Bewußtsein und wurde entrückt in geistige Welten. Und wahrnehmen konnte er jetzt, was den alten Mysterienpriestern in Reinheit und Wahrheit einmal geoflenbart war, wahrnehmen konnte er die alten heidnischen Offenbarungen, wie er in der Stimme der großen Bath-Kol die jüdischen Offenbarungen wahrgenommen hatte. Und hören konnte er jetzt die uralt heidnische Offenbarung, die etwa in der folgenden Weise in der heutigen Sprache wiederholt werden kann:","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":359,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/152/1914-05-27/p021"}],"english":["GA 152/1914-05-27/p021"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":359,"en_words":386,"ratio":1.08,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5623,"original_word_count":5431,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Prelude to the Mystery of Golgotha","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA152/English/SOL2024/19140527.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.
