It is alluded to in the profoundest of the Gospels the one which is misunderstood by today's theologians, the St. John's Gospel, when it speaks of the Feast of the Tabernacles which was attended by Jesus. The founder of Christianity there speaks of the outpouring of spiritual life with which humanity was to be endowed. It is a remarkable passage. For the Feast of the Tabernacles, the people had to visit a spring from which water flowed. There followed a festival which intimated to man that he should call to mind again his spiritual nature, his Deva and spiritual strivings. The water which flowed there was to remind him of the soul and spirit world. After repeated refusals Jesus finally went up to the feast. The following happened on the last day of the feast John 7, 37): ‘In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.’ Those who drank celebrated a feast in which the spiritual life was brought to recollection. But Jesus connected something else with it, as can be seen in the following words of St. John's Gospel: ‘He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified)’.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"1.

Im tiefsten Evangelium, das von der heutigen Theologie verkannt wird, im Johannes-Evangelium, da wo erzählt wird, daß Jesus das Laubhüttenfest besucht, wird dieser Zeitpunkt angedeutet. Der Stifter des Christentums spricht da davon, spirituelles Leben über die Menschheit auszugießen. Es ist das eine merkwürdige Stelle. Das Laubhüttenfest bestand ja darin, daß man zu einer Quelle ging, aus der Wasser floß. Dort entwickelte sich dann ein Fest, das darauf hindeutete, daß der Mensch sich wieder einmal besinnen solle auf das Spirituelle, auf die Devanatur und das geistige Streben. Das Wasser, das da geschöpft wurde, war eine Erinnerung an das Seelisch-Geistige. Nach wiederholten Absagen geht Jesus doch zu dem Fest. Und am letzten Tage des Festes geschieht folgendes (Joh.7,37): Am letzten Tage des Festes, der am herrlichsten war - so heißt es —, trat Jesus auf und sprach: «Wen da dürstet, der komme zu mir und trinke!» — Diejenigen, welche tranken, feierten ein Erinnerungsfest an das spirituelle Leben. Jesus aber verbindet noch etwas anderes damit und das deutet Johannes mit den Worten an: «Wer an mich glaubet, wie die Schrift saget, von des Leibe werden Ströme des lebendigen Wassers fließen. Das sagte er aber von dem Geiste, welchen empfangen sollten die, die an ihn glaubten, denn der Heilige Geist war noch nicht da; denn Jesus war noch nicht verkläret.»","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":243,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/93/1904-05-23/p023"}],"english":["GA 93/1904-05-23/p023"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":243,"en_words":275,"ratio":1.13,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.47,"band":"fuller_than_original","note":"This witness is longer than the original — paraphrastic or padded.
