Could Charles V have estimated the explosive power of these thoughts in the slightest? Probably not. The emperor appeared weary, and after all he could hardly speak German or go into the details. Used to being the most dominant guy in the room, all he said was: “Recant!”

And Luther answered, “If I am not convinced by the testimony of Scripture and plain reason, then I will neither believe the pope nor the councils alone because it is certain that they have erred more often and have contradicted themselves—so I am overcome in my conscience by the passages of Scripture and trapped in the Word of God. Therefore, I cannot and will not recant because it is neither safe nor healthy to act against the conscience. God help me. Amen.”4
