Peter had asked Jesus how many times someone should forgive a brother. In that instance, Jesus replied: “Up to 77 times.” (See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070661/0/0">study note on Mt 18:22</a>.) Neither of Jesus’ comments should be taken literally. “Seven times” here conveys the idea of an indefinite number of times. (Compare the expression “seven times a day” at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070661/3/0" data-bid="4-1" class="b">Ps 119:164</a>, which conveys the idea of repeatedly, constantly, always.) A Christian might sin against his brother seven times in a single day and repent seven times. If on being rebuked he is repentant, the sinner is to be forgiven every time. In those circumstances, forgiveness is to be extended indefinitely, or without limit.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070661/4/0" data-bid="5-1" class="b">Lu 17:3</a>.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/42/17/664" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-665"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Isa 55:7;

The Greek word used was regularly applied to the mulberry tree, and the black mulberry (<em>Morus nigra</em>) is commonly cultivated in Israel. It is a sturdy tree that grows to a height of about 6 m (20 ft), with large heart-shaped leaves and dark-red or black fruit resembling the blackberry. This tree is known for having an extensive root system, thus requiring great effort to uproot.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group media"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Media</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="scalableui item"><div class="clearfix"><a class="galleryItem" href="/en/wol/gallery/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/42/1001072102#chapter=17"><img class="studyItemMedia" src="/en/wol/gallery/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/42/1001072102/thumbnail" data-img-large-src="/en/wol/mp/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/2024/670" ><span class="caption"><p>Black Mulberry Tree</p> </span></a></div></li></ul></div><div class="group footnote"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Footnotes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item footnote" data-extract-id="verseFootnote-88"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">*</span></span><span class="scalableui"><p id="p313" data-pid="313">Or “this sycamine tree.”</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/42/17/666" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-667"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Mt 17:20; 21:21; Mr 11:23</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-667" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-667" class="extract"></div></div></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-rsg" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Research Guide</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p1708" data-pid="1708" class="se"></p> <div id="p1709" data-pid="1709"><p data-pid="1709" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1643/0"><em>Awake!,</em></a></p><p data-pid="1709" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1643/0">8/8/1996, pp. 22-23</a></p> </div><p id="p1710" data-pid="1710" class="se"></p> </span></li><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p520" data-pid="520" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/518/0">g96 8/8 22-23;</a></p> <p id="p521" data-pid="521" class="sx"></p> <p id="p586" data-pid="586" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020042/584/0">w62 431</a></p> <p id="p587" data-pid="587" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="42-17-7" data-section-citation="042017007042017007"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Luke 17:7</span></h3><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-rsg" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Research Guide</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p1710" data-pid="1710" class="se"></p> <p id="p1711" data-pid="1711" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1644/0"><em>Insight,</em> Volume 1<em>,</em> p. 1181</a></p> <p id="p1712" data-pid="1712" class="se"></p> </span></li><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p521" data-pid="521" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/519/0">it-1 1181;</a></p> <p id="p522" data-pid="522" class="sx"></p> <p id="p587" data-pid="587" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020042/585/0">w74 372;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020042/585/2"> ad 818</a></p> <p id="p588" data-pid="588" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="42-17-8" data-section-citation="042017008042017008"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Luke 17:8</span></h3><div class="studyNoteGroup"><ul class="content"><li class="item studyNote" data-extract-id=""><span class="scalableui"><p id="p11" data-pid="11" class="s5"><strong>put on an apron:</strong> The Greek word <em>pe·ri·zonʹny·mai,</em> rendered “put on an apron,” literally means “gird oneself about,” that is, to bind on an apron or to tighten the garments, often with a belt, in order to be prepared for service.

Jesus does not limit the comparison just to the coming of the Flood as a final climax during Noah’s days, though he shows that his “days” or “presence” will see a similar climax. “The days of Noah” actually covered a period of years, so there is basis for believing that the foretold “days [or, “presence”] of the Son of man” would likewise cover a period of years, being climaxed by the destruction of those who do not seek deliverance.—See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070661/9/0">study note on Mt 24:3</a>.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div
