He translates the Bible wrongly because the several members of man's being of which we have so often spoken—the ego, the astral body, the etheric body, and the physical body are working together in him, through Mephistopheles' spirit, in a chaotic way. And now we see how these impulses prevail, for the external barking of the dog is what stirs him up against the truth. In all his knowledge he cannot yet recognise the wisdom of Christianity. This is shown the way he connects Word, Thought, Force, Deed. But the impulse, the urge, towards Christianity is already alive in him, and by making use of the living force of what dwells there as the Christ, he overcomes the opposing spirit. He first tries to do this with what he has received from ancient magic. But the spirit does not yield, does not show himself in his true form. He then calls up the four elements and their spirits—the salamanders, sylphs, undines and gnomes, but nothing of all this affects the spirit in the poodle. But when he calls upon the figure of Christ, “the shamefully Immolated, by Whom all heaven is permeated” then the poodle has to show its true shape.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":210,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/273/1916-09-30/p057","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1916-09-30","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 273/1916-09-30/p068","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/273/1916-09-30/p068"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","length_check":{"de_words":201,"en_words":210,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Er übersetzt die Bibel falsch, weil die verschiedenen Glieder der menschlichen Wesenheit, die wir so oft besprochen haben - Ich, astralischer Leib, Ätherleib, physischer Leib -, in ihm in chaotischer Weise durch den mephistophelischen Geist zusammenwirken. Jetzt zeigt sich auch, wie diese Triebe walten, denn das äußere Bellen des Pudels ist dasjenige, was sich in ihm gegen die Wahrheit aufbäumt. Er kann noch nicht in seiner Erkenntnis die Weisheit des Christentums erfassen. Das sehen wir an der Art und Weise, wie er Wort, Sinn, Kraft, Tat in Zusammenhang bringt. Aber in ihm lebt schon der Drang, der Trieb zum Christentum. Indem er das, was als der Christus in ihm lebt, lebendig macht, besiegt er den Gegengeist. Er versucht es zunächst mit dem, was er aus der alten Magie erhalten hat. Da weicht der Geist nicht, da zeigt er sich nicht in seiner wahren Gestalt. Die vier Elemente und ihre Geister: Salamander, Sylphe, Undine, Gnomen ruft er auf; das alles beirrt den Geist nicht, der in dem Pudel steckt. Aber als er die Christus-Gestalt aufruft: den freventlich durchstochenen, durch alle Himmel ergossenen — da muß der Pudel seine wahre Gestalt zeigen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":201,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/273/1916-09-30/p068"}],"beads":[{"from":[46],"to":[57],"confidence":"medium"},{"from":[47],"to":[58],"confidence":"medium"},{"from":[48],"to":[59],"confidence":"medium"},{"from":[49],"to":[60],"confidence":"medium"},{"from":[50],"to":[61],"confidence":"medium"},{"from":[51],"to":[62],"confidence":"medium"},{"from":[52],"to":[63],"confidence":"medium"},{"from":[53],"to":[64],"confidence":"medium"},{"from":[54],"to":[65],"confidence":"medium"},{"from":[55],"to":[66],"confidence":"medium"},{"from":[56],"to":[67],"confidence":"medium"},{"from":[57],"to":[68],"confidence":"medium"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
