"In the Luke Gospel lecture cycle (Sept. 1909, Basle, GA 114), Steiner describes the Jesus born through the Nathan line as a being who had never incarnated before. This Jesus child was a pure feeling soul which had been held back from the Fall of Man and was the baby born in the manger in Bethlehem, visited by the shepherds and overshadowed by the Guatama Buddha as the "host of angels" hovering over the stable.
In the Matthew Gospel cycle, the Jesus born through the Solomon line was a being who had incarnated many times before, most notably as Zarathustra. This baby was also born in Bethlehem, but was visited by the Magi in a house (See Matt. 2:11) not by shepherds in a stable."
