Er liest das erste und er liest das dritte Evangelium. Es werden ihm zwei Abstammungstafeln des Jesus von Nazareth vorgeführt, die eine in dem Evangelium nach Matthäus die andere in dem Evangelium nach Lukas. Er verfolgt die Namen und findet, daß dieselben nicht übereinstimmen, daß schon beim dritten Glied von Joseph aufwärts ein anderer Name auftritt, daß, wo bei Matthäus Salomon steht, bei Lukas Nathan sich findet und so weiter, daß eine ganze Reihe von Namen in den Tafeln verschieden sind, und er frägt sich: Wie ist es möglich, daß dasjenige, was durch Jahrhunderte hindurch den Menschen als ein Quell der Wahrheit gedient hat, solche Widersprüche aufweisen kann? — Im Grunde genommen sehen wir in einer einzigen solchen Erwägung den Keimpunkt zu all den Zweifeln, die, hinsichtlich der Einheitlichkeit der Schrift und zuletzt bezüglich ihrer Inspiration, den Menschen, den Kritikern gekommen sind. Aus solchen Erwägungen heraus, die in komplizierter Weise bis ins feinste Detail durchgeführt worden sind, hat man die Bücher des Neuen Testamentes zerlegt, hat man gefunden, was mehr oder weniger echt ist, hat man gefunden, daß das erste Evangelium von dem vierten abweicht, woraus sich notwendig ergeben mußte, daß man es im vierten Evangelium mit etwas ganz anderem als mit einer historischen Urkunde zu tun hat. Wie könnte man auch unbefangenen Geistes diese Widersprüche hinwegdekretieren? Es ist nur zu natürlich, daß der moderne Mensch, wenn er so etwas sieht, Kritik anlegen muß.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":246,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/55/1907-04-26/p005"}],"english":["GA 55/1907-04-26/p005","GA 55/1907-04-26/p006"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":246,"en_words":185,"ratio":0.75,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.88,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5697,"original_word_count":6439,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Rita Stebbing","identified_edition":"AP1987","book_title":"Supersensible Knowledge","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA055/English/AP1987/19070426p01.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.
