Did Martin Luther recant?

"Recant" may be a patronizing way to put it. He did not change his stance, but stood for what he knew to be the truth, despite the threats of the imposed power of local and papal authorities. There is a legend that claims, under threat of excommunication and death, Luther said, "Here I stand; I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen." Luther died surrounded by his supporters and fellow reformers, holding fast to all that his work had restored to the Church.
