“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.”
~ Martin Luther

Please proovide the actual source of that quote as it certainly isn’t in the link you provided.
The quote is from a “Sermon” of Luther on John, not “Commentary” as Some Catholic cite it as. He did say it, although the hard core Lutherans will say Catholics are quoting this out of context, and say something to the effect that what Luther was saying was he learned much from the Church of his day which was Catholic under the Bishop of Rome, of course ones context is usually based on ones ex ante assumptions. They will protest any notion that Luther was conceding any infallibility to Rome with respect to Rome having defined the Canon correctly. Remember, he wanted James out of the NT canon and of course rejected the Deuterocanonicals, which both Rome and Orthodoxy have in their canons [although some Orthodox have more of them then other Orthodox Churches and Rome].
I’ve asked the same. It’s a phony “quotation.” And yet Salvation continues to promote it, as though it were true. Papists do that a lot — use fake evidence to support their heretical views.
