How Many Times? [29-01]

Image

One day, Peter asked Jesus, “Master, how many times should I forgive my brother when he sins against me? As many as seven times?” Jesus said, “Not seven times, but seventy times seven!” By this, Jesus meant that we should always forgive. Then Jesus told the following story.

一天彼得问耶稣：“主啊，我弟兄得罪我，我当饶恕他几次呢？ 到七次吗？” 耶稣说：“不是到七次，乃是到七十个七次！”耶稣讲这个是想说我们应该一直宽恕，然后他讲了下面这个故事。

Important Terms:

Translation Notes:

  • One day - This phrase introduces an event that happened in the past, but does not state the specific time. Many languages have a similar way to begin telling a true story.
  • my brother - This term sometimes included people who were not actually siblings, but who shared another very strong connection such as religion, ethnic background, etc.
  • sins against me - This could also be translated as, "does something wrong against me."
  • Not seven times, but seventy times seven! - This could be translated as, "You should not forgive only seven times, rather you should forgive seventy times seven times." Jesus was not talking about an exact number. He was saying that we should forgive people every time they sin against us.
  • By this, Jesus meant - That is, "When Jesus said this he meant."
