==Outcome==
The Marburg Colloquy ultimately failed in finding an agreement on the issue of the Eucharist, and neither Luther or Zwingli would budge on their positions.<ref name="7Conclusion">Wax, Travin (February 16, 2008).

Retrieved December 24, 2016.</ref> Both of them did repent of their harsh words against each other during the debate.<ref name="7Conclusion"/> A Protestant political alliance could not be created.<ref name="TurningPoint"/>
Philip of Hesse asked Luther to make a draft of every Christian doctrine that both sides could agree on, with the purpose of projecting unity.<ref name="TurningPoint"/> Out of 15 theological points in the [[Articles of Marburg]], every side agreed on 14 of them, with the Eucharist being the exception.<ref name="7Conclusion"/>
