Matthew 4:17

One of the sparks... of the Reformation that put this into practice was when Martin Luther went back to the biblical text.

He went to translate Matthew 4, 17.

Remember, the Bibles were in Latin.

There's something called the Vulgate, which is the Bible in Latin.

Jesus wasn't commanding you to go to church and ask for the church's sacrament of penance.

But Jesus was calling people to a lifestyle of repentance.

And Matthew 4, 17 should read repent.

Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
