Cf. Pétr 9/2-5: þa spurði Petrus hvart naunginum væri fyrirlatanda .vii. sinnum þat sem hann misgerði. En guðs son sagði fyrirlatanda .vii. tigum sinna .vii. sinnum ‘Then Peter asked whether a neighbour was to be forgiven seven times for that which he did wrong. But the son of God said it is to be forgiven seventy times seven times.’; Matt. XVIII.21-2: Tunc accedens Petrus ad eum dixit Domine quotiens peccabit in me frater meus et dimittam ei usque septies? dicit illi Iesus non dico tibi usque septies sed usque septuagies septies.‘Then came Peter unto him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I shall forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith to him: I say not to thee, till seven times; but till seventy times seven times.’
