An Unforgiving Servant^(A)

²¹ Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, when my ·fellow believer [^Lbrother (or sister)] sins against me, how many times ·must [should] I forgive him? Should I forgive him as many as seven times?”

²² Jesus answered, “I tell you, you must forgive him not just seven times, but ·seventy times seven times [or seventy-seven times; ^Cthe Greek can mean either 490 or 77; the point is unlimited forgiveness]!

⁴ If he sins against you seven times ·in one day [or each day] and ·says that he is sorry each time [repents seven times], forgive him.”
