Matthew 18:22. Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Some say that "seventy times seven" is a metaphor for "infinity", i.e. always forgive.

It should describe forgiveness throughout the whole bible and anyone and everyone can forgive!


How many times should one forgive according to the old testament?

7 times 77 I believe, but that is a metaphore, god wants us to forgive everyone who has wronged us regardless of whether they apologize or not. because if we cannot forgive someone how can we expect god to forgive us?


Is 77 mentioned in Bible?

Yes it is mentioned in Matthew 18:21-22 in the Parable of the Unmerciful Servant. This parable talks about forgiveness of others. "Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.' Although Jesus uses a specific number to show how many times one should forgive another, really by using such a large number he is saying that everyone should always forgive another. Seventy-seven was probably considered a very large number in biblical times.


Where in the Bible does it say If you can't forgive me Jesus won't forgive you?

Jesus always forgives those who ask for forgiveness. Anyone who truly repents and seeks forgiveness shall receive it.Answer:Matthew 6:14, 15 - "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."Matthew 18:34, 35 - "And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses."Mark 11:25, 26 - "And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses."There is an additional consideration: the offender is to repent of their trespass and sincerely ask to be forgiven. Forgiveness is not "unconditional."Luke 17:3, 4 - "Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him."[NKJV]

Who forgives sins God or Jesus?

Jesus Christ is the only one that can forgive sins. Because Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, he was able to die in our place on the cross. We should have been the one to pay for our sins, but Jesus did it. He said it is finished. He can forgive our sins if we repent of our sins and put our faith in the work that Jesus completed on the cross.
