Leonharti Hutteri. Gosslar. In Iahre 1619."
The verse appears in an edition of his Bible printed at Halle in 1719;
in his New Testament, Tubingen, 1793; in one printed at Basel in 1821;
and is also to be found in that printed by the Christian Knowledge
Society. In the Basel edition the verse is thus given;--
"Denn Drey sind, die de zeugen im Himmel; der Vater, das Wort,
und der beilige Geist; und diese Drey sind Eins."
Perhaps some of your learned readers can explain when, and by whose
authority, the verse was inserted in Luther's Testament.
E.M.B.
[We may add, that the verse also appears in the stereotype
edition of Luther's Bible, published by Tauchnitz, at Leipsig,
in 1819.--ED.]
