An indulgence had been promised by the pope to all who should ascend upon their knees “Pilate’s staircase,” said to have been miraculously conveyed from Jerusalem to Rome. Luther was one day climbing these steps when a voice like thunder seemed to say, “The just shall live by faith.” Romans 1:17. He sprang to his feet in shame and horror. From that time he saw more clearly than ever before the fallacy of trusting to human works for salvation. He turned his face from Rome. From that time the separation grew until he severed all connection with the papal church. – {HF 79.2}
