For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Picture: The initial Letter “D” of the Foreword by Martin Luther for Das Alte Testament Deutsch, M. Luther, Wittemberg, 1523. The picture is Moses (in red) with horns, and Aaron the priest (in blue) with the Lord speaking to Moses. “Das alte testament halten ettlich geringe…” “The Old Testament retains some unimportant things …” From page II. = 2.
Pictures of Moses with horns (or rays of light). “A curious feature of medieval and renaissance depictions of Moses is that quite a few paintings and sculptures imagine him as horned. Indeed he looks a lot like a Pagan horned god in many of them.
Many scholars believe this was due to a mistranslation in the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Hebrew scriptures completed by St. Jerome. The key verse is Exodus 34:29-30, which in the New International Version of the Bible reads as follows: “When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord. When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him.”
The problem is this: the phrase “was radiant” is a translation of the Hebrew word “karan” which can also mean “was horned”. Only one Greek translation available to Jerome – that by the Jewish convert Aquila – understood “karan” to mean “had become horned.” Nonetheless, that is the definition that Jerome chose to go with.” (https://curiouschristian.blog/2019/08/12/the-horned-moses-in-medieval-art/)

Luther: "I have made a great effort to make Moses so German that no one would guess that he was a Jew." In the Preface Luther wrote: "It is the principal teaching of the Old Testament to proclaim the law, to reveal sin, and to further the good....For Moses can do no more by the law than tell what man ought to do and ought not to do. But he cannot give the power, the strength, and the ability to fulfill it." Large portions of this Preface are contained in Willem Jan Kooiman, Luther and the Bible [Philadelphia: Muhlenberg Press, 1961], p. 135-144. (https://gruber.lstc.edu/luthers_bible/1523_1533.php)

After the publication of the New Testament in 1522, Luther began to translate the Old Testament, which would take him 12 years. “He used a Hebrew Bible that had been published in Brescia in 1494. He used the commentaries of Nicolas of Lyra and the grammar and lexicon of Reuchlin. Luther immersed himself deeply in passages, listening to them from within, and then asked whether what he thought he was hearing agreed with the letter of the text and was grammatically acceptable” (SMU).
Starting in August 2021, the artwork for Trinity’s bulletin covers and weekly snips for Our Family Daily Prayers were found in Luther’s 1522 German translation of the New Testament, Das Newe Testament deutzsch. Both the first edition (September 1522) and the second edition (December 1522) included twenty-one full-page illustrations of the book of Revelation by Luther’s good friend, Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472–1553).
Beginning with Laetare-Lent 4(Mar 27), the artwork will come from the first part of Luther’s translation of the Old Testament, Das Alte Testament Deutsch, which included the first five books of the Old Testament. The first edition of 1523 contains full-page woodcut illustrations by Lucas Cranach the Elder.
“The 1524 edition was printed by Melchior Lotter in Wittenberg, Germany. It contains thirteen brilliantly colored illustrations made from woodcuts by Georg Lemberger, some in what is known as Fürstenkolorit. In this type of illumination, the woodcuts are colored and heightened with gold, suggesting this Bible was created for an aristocrat. Only ten copies of this edition are known to exist. Moreover, sixteenth-century prints showing Fürstenkolorit are extremely rare.” (https://collections.museumofthebible.org/artifacts/25085-luthers-pentateuch?&tab=description).

In the earlier printing, the woodcut had a clear Protestant agenda, as Cranach emphasized the harlot’s identification with the Catholic Church by placing the triple tiara of the papacy upon her head. However, after warnings that this symbolism was too offensive, the book was reprinted with the papal tiara removed from this image.

Picture: In addition to aggressively promoting the reading of biblical texts in the vernacular, the Protestant Reformation also introduced one of the most creative and controversial periods of printed Bible illustration. Martin Luther made effective use of translations enriched with woodcuts, beginning with his first translation of the German New Testament. For that edition he employed Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472–1553), one of the leading artists of the German Renaissance, to supply a rich program of woodcuts, including twenty-one full-page illustrations of the Apocalypse.

Picture: Although Martin Luther was not the first to translate the Bible into German, he was the first to translate the text from the original biblical languages. First printed at Wittenberg in September 1522, Luther’s German New Testament was considered a philological and literary masterpiece that exerted enormous influence on the development of modern German. This second edition, known as the “Dezembertestament,” is the earliest publication in Bridwell Library’s extensive collection of Protestant Bibles printed in numerous vernacular languages.

Picture: “While I cannot claim to have got everything right, nevertheless I venture to say that this German Bible is couched in plainer and more correct language at many points than the Latin. So if the printers do not, as is their wont, spoil it with their carelessness, the German language has here a better Bible than the Latin. I ask my readers to decide.” — Martin Luther, from his preface to the first part of the Old Testament, 1523.
1522 Translation: One of the more controversial translations was Luther's rendering of Romans 3:28, where he inserted the word "alone," [a person is justified by faith alone (alleyn, in the middle of the second line in the picture below)] that was present in neither the Greek or the Latin. In his Sendbrief vom Dolmetschen [Open Letter on Translating] in 1530, Luther defended the addition of "alone" as conforming to German idiom. https://gruber.lstc.edu/luthers_bible/1522.php

“Das Neue Testament Deutzsch” 1522 - These efforts in broadening the Bible’s intended audience and providing vernacular Bibles to the literate public were remarkably successful. The 1522 New Testament appeared in at least forty-three editions in three years, resulting in over one hundred thousand copies of what was surely an expensive book. In addition to folio volumes illustrated with woodcuts, the texts also appeared in more compact and less expensive formats. These smaller Bibles often included copies of illustrations from the larger editions as well. The market for vernacular scripture also expanded beyond Luther’s immediate German-speaking compatriots.

Luther’s Bible Translations - 1522 Das Neue Testament Deutzsch
The "September Testament" / "December Testament"
In September, 1522, Luther published the first edition of his translation of the New Testament. He had begun that during his stay at the Wartburg, in eleven weeks from December 1521 to February 1522, but it was revised in collaboration with Melanchthon and others after he had returned to Wittenberg. Some 3-5,000 copies were printed and by December, 1522, a second edition, called the December Testament had to be published. The price was one guilder, which corresponded to two months' salary for a schoolmaster. By the time Luther published the complete Bible in 1534, 87 editions of his New Testament had been published in High German and some 19 in Low German. More than 200,000 copies had been sold.
Luther's translation was based on the second edition of the Greek text edited by Erasmus in 1519. He put Hebrews and James at the end of the testament, with Jude and Revelation, to underline what he considered as the secondary character of these books. A marginal note at Matt 5:19 refers to those who break the commandments rather than following them as "Papisten hauff" (a heap of papists). 21 illustrations from the workshop of Lucas Cranach the Elder show that the language of the book of Revelation is to be taken metaphorically. The whore of Babylon (the anti-Christ) is equated with the Pope.

Picture: “Das Neue Testament Deutzsch” 1522 - Luther considered the translation of the Bible into German his greatest achievement and his only publication that should outlive him. Recognizing that the Bible’s authority was to be found in the original texts–Hebrew for the Old Testament and Greek for the New Testament–Luther became proficient in both languages. The final publications, however, were not the work of Luther alone but the collaborative achievement of a gathering of scholars in Wittenberg. Their efforts, focused on creating a new German Bible translated from the original languages, rather than from St. Jerome’s Latin Vulgate, proceeded in stages between 1520 and 1534.

On Wednesday nights, Trinity Lutheran Church(Herrin, IL) offers to both children and adults an opportunity for teaching with Learn-by-Heart at 6:30 PM and a catechetical service at 7:00.
In this video from July 19, 2017, we learned stanza 1 of “The Will of God Is Always Best” (Lutheran Worship, #425), the third commandment and meaning from Luther's Small Catechism. This service is designed to prepare God’s people for the theme of the upcoming Sunday Divine Service. The dialog sermon explains Jesus' teaching on His own fulfillment of the Law (Matthew 5:17-26), which is the Holy Gospel for the Sixth Sunday after Trinity.
The service concludes with “Recite Word by Word” (pdf link below). [Length: 1 hour, 2 minutes]
