He was determined to see Martin, his eldest son, become a lawyer. He sent Martin to Latin schools in Mansfeld, then <a href="/wiki/Magdeburg" title="Magdeburg">Magdeburg</a> in 1497, where he attended the <a href="/wiki/Brethren_of_the_Common_Life" title="Brethren of the Common Life">Brethren of the Common Life</a>, a school operated by a <a href="/wiki/Laity" title="Laity">lay group</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Eisenach" title="Eisenach">Eisenach</a> in 1498.<a href="#cite_note-RuppEB-23">[23]</a> The three schools focused on the so-called "<a href="/wiki/Trivium" title="Trivium">trivium</a>": grammar, rhetoric, and logic.

As he studied these portions of the Bible, he came to view the use of terms such as <a href="/wiki/Penance" title="Penance">penance</a> and <a href="/wiki/Righteousness" title="Righteousness">righteousness</a> by the Catholic Church in new ways. He became convinced that the church was corrupt in its ways and had lost sight of what he saw as several of the central truths of Christianity. The most important for Luther was the doctrine of <a href="/wiki/Justification_(theology)" title="Justification (theology)">justification</a>—God's act of declaring a sinner righteous—by faith alone through God's grace. He began to teach that salvation or redemption is a gift of God's <a href="/wiki/Divine_grace" title="Divine grace">grace</a>, attainable only through faith in Jesus as the <a href="/wiki/Messiah" title="Messiah">Messiah</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Wriedt-40">[40]</a> "This one and firm rock, which we call the doctrine of justification", he writes, "is the chief article of the whole Christian doctrine, which comprehends the understanding of all godliness."<a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a> Luther came to understand justification as entirely the work of God. This teaching by Luther was clearly expressed in his 1525 publication <a href="/wiki/On_the_Bondage_of_the_Will" title="On the Bondage of the Will">On the Bondage of the Will</a>, which was written in response to <a href="/wiki/Works_of_Erasmus#On_Free_Will_(1524)" title="Works of Erasmus">On Free Will</a> by <a href="/wiki/Erasmus" title="Erasmus">Desiderius Erasmus</a> (1524).

Against the teaching of his day that the righteous acts of believers are performed in cooperation with God, Luther wrote that Christians receive such righteousness entirely from outside themselves; that righteousness not only comes from Christ but actually is the righteousness of Christ, imputed to Christians (rather than infused into them) through faith.<a href="#cite_note-42">[42]</a> "That is why faith alone makes someone just and fulfills the law," he writes. "Faith is that which brings the <a href="/wiki/Holy_Spirit" title="Holy Spirit">Holy Spirit</a> through the merits of Christ."<a href="#cite_note-faith-43">[43]</a> Faith, for Luther, was a gift from God; the experience of being justified by faith was "as though I had been born again." His entry into Paradise, no less, was a discovery about "the righteousness of God"—a discovery that "the just person" of whom the Bible speaks (as in Romans 1:17) lives by faith.<a href="#cite_note-44">[44]</a> He explains his concept of "justification" in the <a href="/wiki/Smalcald_Articles" title="Smalcald Articles">Smalcald Articles</a>: <blockquote> The first and chief article is this: Jesus Christ, our God and Lord, died for our sins and was raised again for our justification (Romans 3:24–25).

All have sinned and are justified freely, without their own works and merits, by His grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, in His blood (Romans 3:23–25). This is necessary to believe. This cannot be otherwise acquired or grasped by any work, law, or merit. Therefore, it is clear and certain that this faith alone justifies us ...

Albrecht obtained permission from Pope Leo X to conduct the sale of a special plenary indulgence (i.e., remission of the temporal punishment of sin), half of the proceeds of which Albrecht was to claim to pay the fees of his benefices. On 31 October 1517, Luther wrote to his bishop, Albrecht von Brandenburg, protesting against the sale of indulgences. He enclosed in his letter a copy of his "Disputation on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences",<a href="#cite_note-title-49">[a]</a> which came to be known as the <a href="/wiki/Ninety-five_Theses" title="Ninety-five Theses">Ninety-five Theses</a>.

On 17 April 1521, Luther appeared as ordered before the <a href="/wiki/Diet_of_Worms" title="Diet of Worms">Diet of Worms</a>. This was a general assembly of the estates of the Holy Roman Empire that took place in <a href="/wiki/Worms,_Germany" title="Worms, Germany">Worms</a>, a town on the <a href="/wiki/Rhine" title="Rhine">Rhine</a>. It was conducted from 28 January to 25 May 1521, with <a href="/wiki/Charles_V,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor">Emperor Charles V</a> presiding. Prince <a href="/wiki/Frederick_III,_Elector_of_Saxony" title="Frederick III, Elector of Saxony">Frederick III, Elector of Saxony</a>, obtained a <a href="/wiki/Safe_conduct" title="Safe conduct">safe conduct</a> for Luther to and from the meeting. Johann Eck, speaking on behalf of the empire as assistant of the <a href="/wiki/Richard_von_Greiffenklau_zu_Vollrads" title="Richard von Greiffenklau zu Vollrads">Archbishop of Trier</a>, presented Luther with copies of his writings laid out on a table and asked him if the books were his and whether he stood by their contents. Luther confirmed he was their author but requested time to think about the answer to the second question. He prayed, consulted friends, and gave his response the next day: <blockquote> Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures or by clear reason (for I do not trust either in the pope or in councils alone, since it is well known that they have often erred and contradicted themselves), I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted, and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not recant anything since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. May God help me. Amen.<a href="#cite_note-80">[79]</a> </blockquote> At the end of this speech, Luther raised his arm "in the traditional salute of a knight winning a bout." Michael Mullett considers this speech as a "world classic of epoch-making oratory."<a href="#cite_note-mullettp25-81">[80]</a> Eck informed Luther that he was acting like a heretic, saying, <blockquote>Martin, there is no one of the heresies which have torn the bosom of the church, which has not derived its origin from the various interpretation of the Scripture. The Bible itself is the arsenal whence each innovator has drawn his deceptive arguments. It was with Biblical texts that <a href="/wiki/Pelagius" title="Pelagius">Pelagius</a> and <a href="/wiki/Arius" title="Arius">Arius</a> maintained their doctrines. Arius, for instance, found the negation of the eternity of the Word—an eternity which you admit, in this verse of the New Testament—Joseph knew not his wife till she had brought forth her first-born son; and he said, in the same way that you say, that this passage enchained him. When the fathers of the <a href="/wiki/Council_of_Constance" title="Council of Constance">Council of Constance</a> condemned this proposition of Jan Hus—The church of Jesus Christ is only the community of the elect, they condemned an error; for the church, like a good mother, embraces within her arms all who bear the name of Christian, all who are called to enjoy the celestial beatitude.<a href="#cite_note-82">[81]</a></blockquote> Luther refused to recant his writings. He is sometimes also quoted as saying: "Here I stand. I can do no other". Recent scholars consider the evidence for these words to be unreliable since they were inserted before "May God help me" only in later versions of the speech and not recorded in witness accounts of the proceedings.<a href="#cite_note-83">[82]</a> However, Mullett suggests that given his nature, "we are free to believe that Luther would tend to select the more dramatic form of words."<a href="#cite_note-mullettp25-81">[80]</a> Over the next five days, private conferences were held to determine Luther's fate. The emperor presented the final draft of the <a href="/wiki/Edict_of_Worms" class="mw-redirect" title="Edict of Worms">Edict of Worms</a> on 25 May 1521, declaring Luther an <a href="/wiki/Outlaw#In_other_countries" title="Outlaw">outlaw</a>, banning his literature, and requiring his arrest: "We want him to be apprehended and punished as a notorious heretic."<a href="#cite_note-84">[83]</a> It also made it a crime for anyone in Germany to give Luther food or shelter.

We will commit sins while we are here, for this life is not a place where justice resides."<a href="#cite_note-sinsbestrong-90">[89]</a> In the summer of 1521, Luther widened his target from individual pieties like indulgences and pilgrimages to doctrines at the heart of Church practice.

Gaining momentum under the leadership of radicals such as Müntzer in Thuringia, and Hipler and Lotzer in the south-west, the revolts turned into war.<a href="#cite_note-104">[103]</a> Luther sympathised with some of the peasants' grievances, as he showed in his response to the <a href="/wiki/Twelve_Articles" title="Twelve Articles">Twelve Articles</a> in May 1525, but he reminded the aggrieved to obey the temporal authorities.<a href="#cite_note-105">[104]</a> During a tour of Thuringia, he became enraged at the widespread burning of convents, monasteries, bishops' palaces, and libraries. In <a href="/wiki/Against_the_Murderous,_Thieving_Hordes_of_Peasants" title="Against the Murderous, Thieving Hordes of Peasants">Against the Murderous, Thieving Hordes of Peasants</a>, written on his return to Wittenberg, he gave his interpretation of the Gospel teaching on wealth, condemned the violence as the devil's work, and called for the nobles to put down the rebels like mad dogs: <blockquote> Therefore let everyone who can, smite, slay, and stab, secretly or openly, remembering that nothing can be more poisonous, hurtful, or devilish than a rebel ... For baptism does not make men free in body and property, but in soul; and the gospel does not make goods common, except in the case of those who, of their own <a href="/wiki/Free_will_in_theology#Lutheranism" title="Free will in theology">free will</a>, do what the apostles and disciples did in Acts 4 [:32–37]. They did not demand, as do our insane peasants in their raging, that the goods of others—of Pilate and Herod—should be common, but only their own goods. Our peasants, however, want to make the goods of other men common, and keep their own for themselves. Fine Christians they are! I think there is not a devil left in hell; they have all gone into the peasants. Their raving has gone beyond all measure.<a href="#cite_note-106">[105]</a> </blockquote> Luther justified his opposition to the rebels on three grounds. First, in choosing violence over lawful submission to the secular government, they were ignoring Christ's counsel to "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's"; St. Paul had written in his epistle to the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+13:1%E2%80%937&version=nkjv">Romans 13:1–7</a> that all authorities are appointed by God and therefore should not be resisted. This reference from the Bible forms the foundation for the doctrine known as the <a href="/wiki/Divine_right_of_kings" title="Divine right of kings">divine right of kings</a>, or, in the German case, the divine right of the princes. Second, the violent actions of rebelling, robbing, and plundering placed the peasants "outside the law of God and Empire", so they deserved "death in body and soul, if only as highwaymen and murderers." Lastly, Luther charged the rebels with blasphemy for calling themselves "Christian brethren" and committing their sinful acts under the banner of the Gospel.<a href="#cite_note-107">[106]</a> Only later in life did he develop the <a href="/wiki/Beerwolf" title="Beerwolf">Beerwolf</a> concept permitting some cases of resistance against the government.<a href="#cite_note-Whitford-108">[107]</a> Without Luther's backing for the uprising, many rebels laid down their weapons; others felt betrayed.

If he were forced to choose, he would take his stand with the masses, and this was the direction in which he moved."<a href="#cite_note-123">[122]</a> From 1525 to 1529, he established a supervisory church body, laid down a new form of <a href="/wiki/Church_service" title="Church service">worship service</a>, and wrote a clear summary of the new faith in the form of two <a href="/wiki/Catechism#Lutheran_catechisms" title="Catechism">catechisms</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Schroeder2000-124">[123]</a> To avoid confusing or upsetting the people, Luther avoided extreme change.

He concentrated on the church in the <a href="/wiki/Electorate_of_Saxony" title="Electorate of Saxony">Electorate of Saxony</a>, acting only as an adviser to churches in new territories, many of which followed his Saxon model.

Luther's Small Catechism proved especially effective in helping parents teach their children; likewise the Large Catechism was effective for pastors.<a href="#cite_note-147">[146]</a> Using the German vernacular, they expressed the Apostles' Creed in simpler, more personal, <a href="/wiki/Trinity" title="Trinity">Trinitarian</a> language. He rewrote each article of the Creed to express the character of the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit. Luther's goal was to enable the <a href="/wiki/Catechumen" class="mw-redirect" title="Catechumen">catechumens</a> to see themselves as a personal object of the work of the three persons of the Trinity, each of which works in the catechumen's life.<a href="#cite_note-James_Arne_Nestingen_1996-148">[147]</a> That is, Luther depicts the Trinity not as a doctrine to be learned, but as persons to be known. The Father creates, the Son redeems, and the Spirit sanctifies, a divine unity with separate personalities. Salvation originates with the Father and draws the believer to the Father. Luther's treatment of the Apostles' Creed must be understood in the context of the Decalogue (the Ten Commandments) and The Lord's Prayer, which are also part of the Lutheran catechetical teaching.<a href="#cite_note-James_Arne_Nestingen_1996-148">[147]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Translation_of_the_Old_Testament:_1534–1535">Translation of the Old Testament: 1534–1535</h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Luther_Bible" title="Luther Bible">Luther Bible</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Lutherbibel.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Lutherbibel.jpg/220px-Lutherbibel.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="167" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="1000" data-file-height="759"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 167px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Lutherbibel.jpg/220px-Lutherbibel.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="167" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Lutherbibel.jpg/330px-Lutherbibel.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Lutherbibel.jpg/440px-Lutherbibel.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Luther's 1534 Bible</figcaption></figure> Luther had published his German translation of the New Testament in 1522, and he and his collaborators completed the translation of the Old Testament in 1534, when the whole Bible was published.

His tool of choice for this connection was the singing of German hymns in connection with worship, school, home, and the public arena.<a href="#cite_note-Christopher_Boyd_Brown_2005-165">[164]</a> He often accompanied the sung hymns with a lute, later recreated as the <a href="/wiki/Waldzither" title="Waldzither">waldzither</a> that became a <a href="/wiki/List_of_national_instruments_(music)" title="List of national instruments (music)">national instrument</a> of Germany in the 20th century.<a href="#cite_note-166">[165]</a> Luther's hymns were frequently evoked by particular events in his life and the unfolding Reformation. This behavior started with his learning of the execution of <a href="/wiki/Jan_van_Essen_and_Hendrik_Vos" title="Jan van Essen and Hendrik Vos">Jan van Essen and Hendrik Vos</a>, the first individuals to be martyred by the Roman Catholic Church for Lutheran views, prompting Luther to write the hymn "<a href="/wiki/Ein_neues_Lied_wir_heben_an" class="mw-redirect" title="Ein neues Lied wir heben an">Ein neues Lied wir heben an</a>" ("A New Song We Raise"), which is generally known in English by John C.

Luther's hymn, adapted and expanded from an earlier German creedal hymn, gained widespread use in vernacular Lutheran liturgies as early as 1525. Sixteenth-century Lutheran hymnals also included "Wir glauben all" among the catechetical hymns, although 18th-century hymnals tended to label the hymn as Trinitarian rather than catechetical, and 20th-century Lutherans rarely used the hymn because of the perceived difficulty of its tune.<a href="#cite_note-Christopher_Boyd_Brown_2005-165">[164]</a> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1237032888/mw-parser-output/.tmulti">.mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner{display:flex;flex-direction:column}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{display:flex;flex-direction:row;clear:left;flex-wrap:wrap;width:100%;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{margin:1px;float:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .theader{clear:both;font-weight:bold;text-align:center;align-self:center;background-color:transparent;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbcaption{background-color:transparent}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-left{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-right{text-align:right}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-center{text-align:center}@media all and (max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbinner{width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;max-width:none!important;align-items:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{justify-content:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{float:none!important;max-width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle .thumbcaption{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow>.thumbcaption{text-align:center}}@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner img{background-color:white}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner img{background-color:white}}</style><div class="thumb tmulti tright"><div class="thumbinner multiimageinner" style="width:292px;max-width:292px"><div class="trow"><div class="tsingle" style="width:143px;max-width:143px"><div class="thumbimage" style="height:402px;overflow:hidden"><a href="/wiki/File:Luther_Vaterunser_001.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Luther_Vaterunser_001.jpg/141px-Luther_Vaterunser_001.jpg" decoding="async" width="141" height="404" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="404" data-file-height="1158"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 141px;height: 404px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Luther_Vaterunser_001.jpg/141px-Luther_Vaterunser_001.jpg" data-alt="" data-width="141" data-height="404" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Luther_Vaterunser_001.jpg/212px-Luther_Vaterunser_001.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Luther_Vaterunser_001.jpg/282px-Luther_Vaterunser_001.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a></div></div><div class="tsingle" style="width:145px;max-width:145px"><div class="thumbimage" style="height:402px;overflow:hidden"><a href="/wiki/File:Luther_Vaterunser_002.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Luther_Vaterunser_002.jpg/143px-Luther_Vaterunser_002.jpg" decoding="async" width="143" height="402" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="1242" data-file-height="3488"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 143px;height: 402px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Luther_Vaterunser_002.jpg/143px-Luther_Vaterunser_002.jpg" data-alt="" data-width="143" data-height="402" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Luther_Vaterunser_002.jpg/215px-Luther_Vaterunser_002.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Luther_Vaterunser_002.jpg/286px-Luther_Vaterunser_002.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a></div></div></div><div class="trow" style="display:flex"><div class="thumbcaption">Autograph of "<a href="/wiki/Vater_unser_im_Himmelreich" title="Vater unser im Himmelreich">Vater unser im Himmelreich</a>", with the only notes extant in Luther's handwriting</div></div></div></div> Luther's 1538 hymnic version of the <a href="/wiki/Lord%27s_Prayer" title="Lord's Prayer">Lord's Prayer</a>, "<a href="/wiki/Vater_unser_im_Himmelreich" title="Vater unser im Himmelreich">Vater unser im Himmelreich</a>", corresponds exactly to Luther's explanation of the prayer in the Small Catechism, with one stanza for each of the seven prayer petitions, plus opening and closing stanzas. The hymn functions both as a liturgical setting of the Lord's Prayer and as a means of examining candidates on specific catechism questions. The extant manuscript shows multiple revisions, demonstrating Luther's concern to clarify and strengthen the text and to provide an appropriately prayerful tune. Other 16th- and 20th-century versifications of the Lord's Prayer have adopted Luther's tune, although modern texts are considerably shorter.<a href="#cite_note-168">[167]</a> Luther wrote "<a href="/wiki/Aus_tiefer_Not_schrei_ich_zu_dir" title="Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir">Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir</a>" ("From depths of woe I cry to You") in 1523 as a hymnic version of <a href="/wiki/Psalm_130" title="Psalm 130">Psalm 130</a> and sent it as a sample to encourage his colleagues to write psalm-hymns for use in German worship.

In 1524 Luther developed his original four-stanza psalm paraphrase into a five-stanza Reformation hymn that developed the theme of "grace alone" more fully. Because it expressed essential Reformation doctrine, this expanded version of "Aus tiefer Not" was designated as a regular component of several regional Lutheran liturgies and was widely used at funerals, including Luther's own. Along with <a href="/wiki/Erhard_Hegenwald" title="Erhard Hegenwald">Erhart Hegenwalt's</a> hymnic version of <a href="/wiki/Psalm_51" title="Psalm 51">Psalm 51</a>, Luther's expanded hymn was also adopted for use with the fifth part of Luther's catechism, concerning confession.<a href="#cite_note-169">[168]</a> Luther wrote "<a href="/wiki/Ach_Gott,_vom_Himmel_sieh_darein" title="Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein">Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein</a>" ("Oh God, look down from heaven").

Luther's 1541 hymn "<a href="/wiki/Christ_unser_Herr_zum_Jordan_kam" title="Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam">Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam</a>" ("To Jordan came the Christ our Lord") reflects the structure and substance of his questions and answers concerning baptism in the Small Catechism. Luther adopted a preexisting <a href="/wiki/Johann_Walter" title="Johann Walter">Johann Walter</a> tune associated with a hymnic setting of <a href="/wiki/Psalm_67" title="Psalm 67">Psalm 67</a>'s prayer for grace; Wolf Heintz's four-part setting of the hymn was used to introduce the Lutheran Reformation in Halle in 1541. Preachers and composers of the 18th century, including <a href="/wiki/Johann_Sebastian_Bach" title="Johann Sebastian Bach">J.S.

href="/wiki/On_the_Jews_and_Their_Lies" title="On the Jews and Their Lies">On the Jews and Their Lies</a>, written by Martin Luther in 1543</figcaption></figure> Luther wrote negatively about <a href="/wiki/Jews" title="Jews">Jews</a> throughout his career.<a href="#cite_note-:2-225">[224]</a> Though Luther rarely encountered Jews during his life, his attitudes reflected a theological and cultural tradition which saw Jews as a rejected people guilty of the murder of Christ, and he lived in a locality which had expelled Jews roughly 90 years earlier.<a href="#cite_note-226">[225]</a> He considered the Jews blasphemers and liars because they rejected the divinity of Jesus.<a href="#cite_note-227">[226]</a> In 1523, Luther advised kindness toward the Jews in That Jesus Christ was Born a Jew and also aimed to convert them to Christianity.<a href="#cite_note-228">[227]</a> When his efforts at conversion failed, he grew increasingly bitter toward them.<a href="#cite_note-229">[228]</a> Luther's major works on the Jews were his 60,000-word treatise Von den Juden und Ihren Lügen (<a href="/wiki/On_the_Jews_and_Their_Lies" title="On the Jews and Their Lies">On the Jews and Their Lies</a>), and Vom Schem Hamphoras und vom Geschlecht Christi (<a href="/wiki/Vom_Schem_Hamphoras" title="Vom Schem Hamphoras">On the Holy Name and the Lineage of Christ</a>), both published in 1543, three years before his death.<a href="#cite_note-230">[229]</a> Luther argued that the Jews were no longer the chosen people but "the devil's people", and referred to them with violent language.<a href="#cite_note-231">[230]</a><a href="#cite_note-232">[231]</a> Citing Deuteronomy 13, wherein <a href="/wiki/Moses" title="Moses">Moses</a> commands the killing of idolaters and the burning of their cities and property as an offering to God, Luther called for a "scharfe Barmherzigkeit" ("sharp mercy") against the Jews "to see whether we might save at least a few from the glowing flames."<a href="#cite_note-gritsch8687-233">[232]</a> Luther advocated setting <a href="/wiki/Synagogue" title="Synagogue">synagogues</a> on fire, destroying Jewish <a href="/wiki/Siddur" title="Siddur">prayerbooks</a>, forbidding <a href="/wiki/Rabbi" title="Rabbi">rabbis</a> from preaching, seizing Jews' property and money, and smashing up their homes, so that these "envenomed worms" would be forced into labour or expelled "for all time".<a href="#cite_note-:0-234">[233]</a> In <a href="/wiki/Robert_Michael_(historian)" title="Robert Michael (historian)">Robert Michael</a>'s view, Luther's words "We are at fault in not slaying them" amounted to a sanction for murder.<a href="#cite_note-235">[234]</a> "God's anger with them is so intense," Luther concluded, "that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!"<a href="#cite_note-gritsch8687-233">[232]</a> Luther launched a polemic against vagrants in his 1528 preface to <a href="/wiki/Liber_Vagatorum" title="Liber Vagatorum">Liber Vagatorum</a>, saying that the Jews had contributed Hebrew words as a main basis of the <a href="/wiki/Rotwelsch" title="Rotwelsch">Rotwelsch</a> <a href="/wiki/Cryptolect" class="mw-redirect" title="Cryptolect">cryptolect</a>. He warned in the admonitory preface Christians not to give them alms as it was, in his opinion, to forsake the truly poor.<a href="#cite_note-236">[235]</a><a href="#cite_note-237">[236]</a> Luther spoke out against the Jews in Saxony, Brandenburg, and Silesia.<a href="#cite_note-Michael:Josel/Strasbourg-238">[237]</a> <a href="/wiki/Josel_of_Rosheim" title="Josel of Rosheim">Josel of Rosheim</a>, the Jewish spokesman who tried to help the Jews of Saxony in 1537, later blamed their plight on "that priest whose name was Martin Luther—may his body and soul be bound up in hell!—who wrote and issued many heretical books in which he said that whoever would help the Jews was doomed to perdition."<a href="#cite_note-239">[238]</a> Josel asked the city of Strasbourg to forbid the sale of Luther's anti-Jewish works: they refused initially but did so when a Lutheran pastor in <a href="/wiki/Hochfelden,_Bas-Rhin" title="Hochfelden, Bas-Rhin">Hochfelden</a> used a sermon to urge his parishioners to murder Jews.<a href="#cite_note-Michael:Josel/Strasbourg-238">[237]</a> Luther's influence persisted after his death. Throughout the 1580s, riots led to the expulsion of Jews from several German Lutheran states.<a href="#cite_note-240">[239]</a> <a href="/wiki/Tovia_Singer" title="Tovia Singer">Tovia Singer</a>, an <a href="/wiki/Orthodox_Judaism" title="Orthodox Judaism">Orthodox Jewish</a> rabbi, remarking about Luther's attitude toward Jews, put it thus: "Among all the Church Fathers and Reformers, there was no mouth more vile, no tongue that uttered more vulgar curses against the Children of Israel than this founder of the Reformation."<a href="#cite_note-241">[240]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Final_years,_illness_and_death">Final years, illness and death</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:DHM_-_Luther_auf_Totenbett.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/41/DHM_-_Luther_auf_Totenbett.jpg/170px-DHM_-_Luther_auf_Totenbett.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="233" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="1616" data-file-height="2216"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 170px;height: 233px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/41/DHM_-_Luther_auf_Totenbett.jpg/170px-DHM_-_Luther_auf_Totenbett.jpg" data-width="170" data-height="233" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/41/DHM_-_Luther_auf_Totenbett.jpg/255px-DHM_-_Luther_auf_Totenbett.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/41/DHM_-_Luther_auf_Totenbett.jpg/340px-DHM_-_Luther_auf_Totenbett.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Luther on his deathbed, a portrait by <a href="/wiki/Lucas_Cranach_the_Elder" title="Lucas Cranach the Elder">Lucas Cranach the Elder</a></figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Martin_Luther%27s_grave,_Schlosskirche,_Wittenburg.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/Martin_Luther%27s_grave%2C_Schlosskirche%2C_Wittenburg.jpg/220px-Martin_Luther%27s_grave%2C_Schlosskirche%2C_Wittenburg.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="3088" data-file-height="2056"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 146px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/Martin_Luther%27s_grave%2C_Schlosskirche%2C_Wittenburg.jpg/220px-Martin_Luther%27s_grave%2C_Schlosskirche%2C_Wittenburg.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="146" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/Martin_Luther%27s_grave%2C_Schlosskirche%2C_Wittenburg.jpg/330px-Martin_Luther%27s_grave%2C_Schlosskirche%2C_Wittenburg.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/Martin_Luther%27s_grave%2C_Schlosskirche%2C_Wittenburg.jpg/440px-Martin_Luther%27s_grave%2C_Schlosskirche%2C_Wittenburg.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Luther's grave in <a href="/wiki/Schlosskirche,_Wittenberg" class="mw-redirect" title="Schlosskirche, Wittenberg">Schlosskirche, Wittenberg</a></figcaption></figure> Luther had been suffering from ill health for years, including <a href="/wiki/M%C3%A9ni%C3%A8re%27s_disease" title="Ménière's disease">Ménière's disease</a>, <a href="/wiki/Vertigo" title="Vertigo">vertigo</a>, fainting, <a href="/wiki/Tinnitus" title="Tinnitus">tinnitus</a>, and a <a href="/wiki/Cataract" title="Cataract">cataract</a> in one eye.<a href="#cite_note-pmid9019884-242">[241]</a> From 1531 to 1546, his health deteriorated further. In 1536, he began to suffer from <a href="/wiki/Kidney_stone_disease" title="Kidney stone disease">kidney and bladder stones</a>, <a href="/wiki/Arthritis" title="Arthritis">arthritis</a>, and an ear infection which ruptured an ear drum. In December 1544, he began to feel the effects of <a href="/wiki/Angina" title="Angina">angina</a>.<a href="#cite_note-243">[242]</a> His poor physical health made him short-tempered and even harsher in his writings and comments. His wife Katharina was overheard saying, "Dear husband, you are too rude," and he responded, "They are teaching me to be rude."<a href="#cite_note-244">[243]</a> In 1545 and 1546 Luther preached three times in the <a href="/wiki/Marktkirche_Unser_Lieben_Frauen" title="Marktkirche Unser Lieben Frauen">Market Church</a> in Halle, staying with his friend Justus Jonas during Christmas.<a href="#cite_note-245">[244]</a> His last sermon was delivered at Eisleben, his place of birth, on 15 February 1546, three days before his death.<a href="#cite_note-246">[245]</a> It was "entirely devoted to the obdurate Jews, whom it was a matter of great urgency to expel from all German territory," according to <a href="/wiki/L%C3%A9on_Poliakov" title="Léon Poliakov">Léon Poliakov</a>.<a href="#cite_note-247">[246]</a> James Mackinnon writes that it concluded with a "fiery summons to drive the Jews bag and baggage from their midst, unless they desisted from their calumny and their usury and became Christians."<a href="#cite_note-248">[247]</a> Luther said, "we want to practice Christian love toward them and pray that they convert," but also that they are "our public enemies ... and if they could kill us all, they would gladly do so. And so often they do."<a href="#cite_note-249">[248]</a> Luther's final journey, to Mansfeld, was taken because of his concern for his siblings' families continuing in their father Hans Luther's copper mining trade. Their livelihood was threatened by Count Albrecht of Mansfeld bringing the industry under his own control. The controversy that ensued involved all four Mansfeld counts: Albrecht, Philip, John George, and Gerhard. Luther journeyed to Mansfeld twice in late 1545 to participate in the negotiations for a settlement, and a third visit was needed in early 1546 for their completion. The negotiations were successfully concluded on 17 February 1546. After 8 p.m., he experienced chest pains. When he went to his bed, he prayed, "Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God" (Ps. 31:5), the common prayer of the dying. At 1 a.m. on 18 February, he awoke with more chest pain and was warmed with hot towels. He thanked God for revealing his Son to him in whom he had believed. His companions, Justus Jonas and Michael Coelius, shouted loudly, "Reverend father, are you ready to die trusting in your Lord Jesus Christ and to confess the doctrine which you have taught in his name?" A distinct "Yes" was Luther's reply.<a href="#cite_note-Reeves60-250">[249]</a> An apoplectic stroke deprived him of his speech, and he died shortly afterwards at 2:45 a.m. on 18 February 1546, aged 62, in Eisleben, the city of his birth. He was buried in the <a href="/wiki/All_Saints%27_Church,_Wittenberg" title="All Saints' Church, Wittenberg">Schlosskirche</a> in Wittenberg, in front of the pulpit.<a href="#cite_note-251">[250]</a> The funeral was held by his friends <a href="/wiki/Johannes_Bugenhagen" title="Johannes Bugenhagen">Johannes Bugenhagen</a> and Philipp Melanchthon.<a href="#cite_note-MacKim19-252">[251]</a> A year later, troops of Luther's adversary Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor entered the town but were ordered by Charles not to disturb the grave.<a href="#cite_note-MacKim19-252">[251]</a> A piece of paper was later found on which Luther had written his last statement. The statement was in Latin, apart from "We are beggars," which was in German. The statement reads: <blockquote><div class="poem"> <ol><li>No one can understand <a href="/wiki/Virgil" title="Virgil">Virgil</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Bucolics" class="mw-redirect" title="Bucolics">Bucolics</a> unless he has been a shepherd for five years.

He was shown to be physically imposing, an equal in stature to the secular German princes with whom he would join forces to spread Lutheranism. His large body also let the viewer know that he did not shun earthly pleasures like drinking—behavior that was a stark contrast to the ascetic life of the medieval religious orders.

This association with the swan arises out of a prophecy reportedly made by the earlier reformer Jan Hus from Bohemia and endorsed by Luther. In the <a href="/wiki/Czech_language" title="Czech language">Bohemian language</a> (now Czech), Hus's name meant <a href="https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Husa" class="extiw" title="cz:Husa">"grey goose"</a>. In 1414, while imprisoned by the Council of Constance and anticipating his execution by burning for heresy, Hus prophesied, "Now they will roast a goose, but in a hundred years' time they'll hear a swan sing. They'd better listen to him." Luther published his Ninety-five Theses some 103 years later.<a href="#cite_note-287">[286]</a><a href="#cite_note-288">[287]</a><a href="#cite_note-289">[288]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(6)"><h2 id="Works_and_editions">Works and editions</h2></div><section class="mf-section-6 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-6"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Martin_Luther_bibliography" title="Martin Luther bibliography">Martin Luther bibliography</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Luther_Weimar_Ausgabe.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Luther_Weimar_Ausgabe.JPG/170px-Luther_Weimar_Ausgabe.JPG" decoding="async" width="170" height="222" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="1794" data-file-height="2345"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 170px;height: 222px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Luther_Weimar_Ausgabe.JPG/170px-Luther_Weimar_Ausgabe.JPG" data-width="170" data-height="222" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Luther_Weimar_Ausgabe.JPG/255px-Luther_Weimar_Ausgabe.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Luther_Weimar_Ausgabe.JPG/340px-Luther_Weimar_Ausgabe.JPG 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Various books of the <a href="/wiki/Weimar_edition_of_Martin_Luther%27s_works" title="Weimar edition of Martin Luther's works">Weimar Edition</a> of Luther's works</figcaption></figure> <ul><li>The Erlangen Edition (Erlangener Ausgabe: "EA"), comprising the Exegetica opera latina – Latin exegetical works of Luther.</li> <li>The <a href="/wiki/Weimar_edition_of_Martin_Luther%27s_works" title="Weimar edition of Martin Luther's works">Weimar Edition</a> (Weimarer Ausgabe) is the exhaustive, standard German edition of Luther's Latin and German works, indicated by the abbreviation "WA".
