Matthew 18:21–22 records Peter’s question and Jesus’s reply: “Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.” Positioning letters on a grid, this work references the 490 times we have been asked to continually forgive.
