According to research by Protestant theologians, it is the latest, written 150 years later. This is based on the lack of writing in the beginning. Who is the writer of this gospel? We do not find the name John anywhere. Only the designation “the disciple whom the master loves”. In the secret language, this means: one who has been initiated by the master himself. Who was at the cross? Jesus' mother, Mary, her sister. Nowhere does it say that the mother's name was Mary. Let us read about the wedding at Cana. “Woman, what do I have to do with you?” Let us read further at the crucifixion: “Woman, behold your son.” All this can only be understood by the researcher of secrets: the people of an initiate are referred to as his mother. At the same time, he has outgrown his people, he arises from them but grows beyond them. Here we, as 'mother', must understand the Jewish people. Mary of Magdala represents the part of the people who believe in him because of his miracles; 'Cleophas' wife' represents the part of the people who feel Jewish. But he has outgrown the part of the Jewish people that forms a common basis, which had already absorbed Alexandrian wisdom, which was not limited to Palestine; this is the own mother from whom Jesus has grown out; the disciple is to take her to himself. Thus the Gospel of John spreads the truth on a Jewish-Alexandrian basis – Jews in the diaspora – in the learned form. This mother had become nameless, scattered throughout the world. Wedding = festivity. Symbol of transformation for the old religion, which was water, into the wine of the new covenant. He is founding something new, but his hour has not yet come. Therefore: 'Woman, what do I have to do with you?'","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":317,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/91/1904-08-20/p016","witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Inner and Outer Evolution","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA091/English/SOL2024/19040820p01.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.

Until then, there is no mention of the disciple whom Jesus loves; only afterwards. The one who is awakened in this way is above the personal, needs no name. He also knows in the highest sense who Christ is: the Incarnate Logos.

Nach Forschung evangelischer Theologen ist es das späteste, 150 Jahre später geschrieben. Das beruht auf der Nicht-Sitte des Schreibens im Anfang. Wer ist der Schreiber dieses Evangeliums? Wir finden nirgends den Namen Johannes. Immer nur die Bezeichnung «der Jünger, den der Meister lieb hat». Das bedeutet in der Geheimsprache: einer, der vom Meister selbst eingeweiht ist. Wer stand am Kreuz? Jesu Mutter, Maria, deren Schwester. Nirgends steht es, dass die Mutter Maria geheißen hat. Lesen wir die Hochzeit zu Kana. «Weib, was habe ich mit dir zu schaffen?» Lesen wir weiter bei der Kreuzigung: «Weib, siehe das ist dein Sohn.» Das alles ist nur für den Geheimforscher verständlich: Als die Mutter eines Eigeweihten bezeichnet man sein Volk. Zugleich ist er aus seinem Volke herausgewachsen, er entspringt ihm, wächst aber hinaus. Hier müssen wir als «Mutter verstehen das jüdische Volk. Maria von Magdala repräsentiert den Teil des Volkes, der an ihn [glaubt] seiner Wunder wegen; ‹Kleophas Weib› [repräsentiert] den Teil des Volkes, der jüdisch fühlt.

So verbreitet das Johannes-Evangelium die Wahrheit auf jüdisch-alexandrinischer Grundlage — Juden in der Diaspora — in der gelehrten Form. Diese Mutter war namenlos geworden, zerstreut in der Welt.
