THAT THESE WORDS OF CHRIST, “THIS IS MY BODY,” ETC., STILL STAND FIRM AGAINST THE FANATICS 1527

For I write these things in order that our people may have answers for the fanatics when they ask so sarcastically where it is written in Scripture that “bread” is Christ’s body, and stupidly pretend that they have never read it. Should one ask them in return where it is written in Scripture that “body” means “sign of the body”? Up the flue, that’s where! That is where their Bible is! -Martin Luther
