One of the passages I'll be using in my sermon this Sunday is Matthew 18:21-22. In it - Jesus is responding to Peter's question of how many times we should forgive a person. As I was reading in my NRSV, I saw that it was written as "seventy-seven times." But I've always heard it quoted as "seventy times seven" - which equals 490. So what is it?
As I was doing some research on the Internet - I came across this blog which asked - and answered - that very question. So if you're interested - take a look:
The Roman Sacristan
By the way - I haven't read anything else from this guy - but this article at least seems to be well-written - and I agree with his conclusions.
