19 a“Again1 I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, bit will be done for them by My Father in heaven.  
20 For where two or three are gathered atogether in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”  

The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant

21 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? aUp to seven times?”  
22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, aup to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.  
23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24 And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.

Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Matthew 18:21:

Matthew 18:21-22

The rabbis taught that people should forgive those who offended them three times, as I mentioned, and Peter, trying to be generous, asked Jesus whether seven, the perfect number, was enough times to forgive someone. But Jesus answered "seventy times seven," and that is the number of eternity in a sense, meaning we should not even keep track of how many times we forgive someone. We should always forgive those who are repentant no matter how many times they ask.
