In the communities of Andwil and Gaiserwald, the eternal Jew once appeared as a little old man in torn clothes. He begged for alms, but betrayed himself by his strange behaviour, especially by his constant restlessness; he even took his meals walking. When confronted, it confessed that it was the eternal Jew who had transgressed against the suffering Son of God.

499. Der ewige Jude.

In den Gemeinden Andwil und Gaiserwald erschien der ewige Jude einst als ein steinaltes Männchen in zerrissenen Kleidern. Es heischte Almosen, verriet sich aber durch sein sonderbares Benehmen, besonders durch seine beständige Unruhe; es nahm sogar das Essen gehend ein. Zur Rede gestellt, bekannte es, dass es der ewige Jude sei, der sich gegen den leidenden Gottessohn vergangen habe.
