It is a little off-topic, so forgive me for that, but since you have done much valuable research on him, I thought you would be in a good position to answer it.<BR/><BR/>I have had a Roman Catholic claim to me that Luther wrote in his commentary on St. John, chapter 16, that <BR/><I>We are compelled to concede to the Papists that they have the Word of God, that we received it from them, and that without them, we should have no knowledge of it at all.</I><BR/><BR/>A little googling reveals that this quote can be found on several Roman Catholic websites, and because of this and the fact that Roman Catholics apologists frequently quote people out of context, I am suspicious.<BR/><BR/>Did Luther even write a commentary on John? If so, do you know where I can get a hold of it? If not, to your knowledge, did Luther say or write the above quote?<BR/><BR/>Thanks.<BR/><BR/>SimonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
