De qué trata
Un volumen de las obras de Lutero en la traducción inglesa conocida como edición de Filadelfia, publicada a principios del siglo XX.
Contexto e historia
Conviene recordar qué es un «volumen» aquí: una selección hecha por los editores modernos, no una unidad de Lutero, que escribió sobre todo escritos breves y ocasionales —sermones, panfletos, cartas abiertas, prefacios— a lo largo de treinta años y en dos lenguas, latín y alemán. La numeración de los volúmenes, pues, no dice nada sobre la cronología ni sobre el tema. Para citar a Lutero, la costumbre académica es remitir a la edición crítica de Weimar, que es la que da referencias estables.

11. That the disciples, therefore, might by all means be worthy and well prepared for this sacrament He first made them sorrowful, held before them His departure and death, by which they were exceeding troubled. And then He greatly terrified them when He said that one of them should betray Him. [Matt. 25:21 ff.] When they were thus full of sorrow and anxiety and were concerned about the sorrow and sin of betrayal, then they were worthy, and He gave them His holy Body to strengthen them. By which He teaches us that this sacrament is strength and comfort for those whom sin and evil trouble and distress; as St. Augustine also says[12], "This food demands only hungry souls and is shunned by none so greatly as by a sated soul which does not need it." Just as the Jews were required to eat the Passover with bitter herbs, standing and in haste, which also signifies that this sacrament demands souls that are desirous, needy and sorrowful. Now if one will make the afflictions of Christ and of all Christians his own, will defend the truth, oppose unrighteousness, help bear the need of the innocent and the sufferings of all Christians, he will find affliction and adversity enough, besides that which his evil nature, the world, the devil and sin daily inflict upon him. And it is God's will and purpose to set so many hounds upon us and drive us, and everywhere provide us bitter herbs, that we may long for this strength and take delight in the holy sacrament, and thus be worthy of it, that is, desire it.
