The Key Word — λέγω, legōgenerated
λέγω (legō) is a primary Greek verb meaning 'to say' or 'to speak.' It is commonly used in the New Testament to express declarations or teachings, as seen frequently in the Gospels. The present active indicative form indicates an ongoing action, making it suitable for direct speech.
In this context, Jesus uses λέγω to assert an important teaching about forgiveness, emphasizing the necessity of continual and generous forgiveness towards others.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!” This is consistent across several translations, including the KJV, ASV, and WEB, which all convey the core message of unlimited forgiveness.
However, the KJV and ASV phrase it as Until seventy times seven, which introduces a numerical interpretation that may suggest a specific calculation rather than the broader principle of boundless forgiveness implied in the BSB and others.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in this verse is λέγει, he says, which governs the entire statement. The structure includes an indirect object αὐτῷ, to him, followed by a direct speech clause that elaborates on what Jesus is saying.
The phrase ἑβδομηκοντάκις serves as a significant adverbial expression, indicating the extent of forgiveness, while the conjunction ἀλλ᾽ introduces a contrast to the previous statement about forgiving seven times.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In Matthew 18:22, the Greek word Λέγει (legō), meaning 'says,' corresponds to various Hebrew terms in the Septuagint, such as כֹּה (kōh) meaning 'thus' and נְאֻם (ne'um) meaning 'utterance.' This choice emphasizes the authoritative nature of Jesus' statement.
The name Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous) is used in the LXX to render names like יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (Yehoshua), which connects Jesus to the tradition of salvation and leadership in Israel. The phrase 'seven times' is represented by ἑπτάκις (heptakis), which links back to the Hebrew שֶׁ֫בַע (sheva), reinforcing the concept of completeness in forgiveness.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Matthew 18:22 shows Jesus responding to Peter's question about how often one should forgive. He emphasizes that forgiveness should not be limited to seven times, but should be offered generously, illustrating the boundless nature of grace and mercy that should characterize relationships among believers.

The just God punishes sin in an exemplary manner. Sinful man, who is exposed to the stroke of Divine justice, should be abundant in forgiveness, especially as the merciful only shall find mercy. See Clarke on Matthew 5:7, and on Matthew 6:14; Matthew 6:15. The sum seventy times seven makes four hundred and ninety.

λέγω (legō) is a primary Greek verb meaning 'to say' or 'to speak.' It encompasses a range of uses, including expressing thoughts, making declarations, and narrating events. The New Testament frequently employs it in direct speech and as a way to convey meaning, such as in Matthew 27:11. Abbott-Smith notes its distinction from similar verbs like λαλέω.
In dealing with synonyms of the N. T. we plainly need not concern ourselves with such earlier, or even contemporary, uses of the words which we are discriminating, as lie altogether outside of the N. T. sphere, when these uses do not illustrate, and have not affected, their Scriptural employment. It follows from this that all those contemptuous uses of λαλεῖν as to talk at random, as one ἀθυρόστομος, or with no door to his lips, might do; of λαλιά, as chatter («Kpacia λόγου ἄλογος, Plato, Defin. 416)—for I cannot believe that we are to find this at John iv. 42—may be dismissed and set aside. The antithesis in the line of Eupolis (Meineke, /ragm. Com. Gr. p. 174), Λαλεῖν ἄριστος, ἀδυνατώτατος λέγειν, does little or nothing to illustrate the matter in hand. The distinction which indeed exists between the words may in this way be made clear. There are two leading aspects under which speech…

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word Ἰησοῦς (*Iēsous*) refers primarily to Jesus, the Savior, and is derived from the Hebrew name Joshua or Jehoshua. It appears frequently in the New Testament, denoting Jesus Christ, and also refers to other figures named Jesus, such as Jesus, son of Eliezer, and Jesus Justus.

The Greek word οὐ (transliterated as ou) is a primary negative particle meaning 'not' or 'no.' It is used to negate verbs or statements, often appearing in various forms depending on the following sound. In the New Testament, it frequently serves to deny facts and is distinct from another negative particle, μή (transliterated as mē), which is used for prohibitions or wishes.
οὐ, before a vowel with smooth breathing οὐκ, before one with rough breathing οὐχ (but improperly οὐχ ἰδού, Ac 2:7, WH, mg.; cf. WH, Intr., § 409; M, Pr., 44, 244),
[in LXX for לֹא, אַיִן, אֵין;]
neg. particle,
not, no, used generally c. indic. and for a denial of fact (cf . μή);
absol. (accented), οὔ, no: Mt 13:29, Jo 1:21 21:5; οὒ οὔ, Mt 5:37, Ja 5:12.
οὐ before a consonant, οὐκ before a vowel with a smooth breathing, and ody before an aspirated vowel ; but sometimes in the best codd. οὐχ occurs even before a smooth breathing; accordingly LT WH mrg. have adopted οὐχ ἰδού, Acts ii. 7; LT οὐχ ᾿Ιουδαϊκῶς, Gal. ii. 14 (see WH. Introd. § 409); L οὐχ ὀλίγος, Acts xix. 23; οὐχ ἠγάπησαν, Rev. xii. 11; and contrariwise οὐκ before an aspirate, as οὐκ ἕστηκεν, Jn. viii. 44 T; [οὐκ ἕνεκεν, 2 Co. vii. 12 T]; (οὐκ εὗρον, Lk. xxiv. 3; [οὐκ ὑπάρχει, Acts iii. 6] in cod. x [alsoC*; ef. cod.

λέγω (legō) is a primary Greek verb meaning 'to say' or 'to speak.' It encompasses a range of uses, including expressing thoughts, making declarations, and narrating events. The New Testament frequently employs it in direct speech and as a way to convey meaning, such as in Matthew 27:11. Abbott-Smith notes its distinction from similar verbs like λαλέω.
In dealing with synonyms of the N. T. we plainly need not concern ourselves with such earlier, or even contemporary, uses of the words which we are discriminating, as lie altogether outside of the N. T. sphere, when these uses do not illustrate, and have not affected, their Scriptural employment. It follows from this that all those contemptuous uses of λαλεῖν as to talk at random, as one ἀθυρόστομος, or with no door to his lips, might do; of λαλιά, as chatter («Kpacia λόγου ἄλογος, Plato, Defin. 416)—for I cannot believe that we are to find this at John iv. 42—may be dismissed and set aside. The antithesis in the line of Eupolis (Meineke, /ragm. Com. Gr. p. 174), Λαλεῖν ἄριστος, ἀδυνατώτατος λέγειν, does little or nothing to illustrate the matter in hand. The distinction which indeed exists between the words may in this way be made clear. There are two leading aspects under which speech…

The Greek word ἀλλά (alla) is an adversative particle, meaning 'but' or 'otherwise.' It is derived from the neuter plural of ἄλλος and is used to introduce opposition or contrast in sentences. In the New Testament, it often appears in contexts that involve negation or exceptions, such as in Matthew 5:15 and John 16:2. The lexicons note its stronger adversative force compared to δέ.

The Greek word ἕως (i.e., *heōs*) means 'until' or 'while,' serving as a conjunction, preposition, and adverb of continuance. It marks a limit in time or place and can be used with various grammatical constructions, including the indicative and subjunctive.

The Greek word ἑβδομηκοντάκις, transliterated as hebdomēkontakis, means 'seventy times' and is an adverb. It appears in the New Testament in Matthew 18:22, where it is used to express a concept of forgiveness, potentially interpreted as 'seventy times seven' or 'seventy-seven times.' There is some debate among lexicographers regarding its exact interpretation in this context.
ἑβδομηκοντάκις, [Gen. iv. 24], seventy times: ἑβδομηκοντάκις ἑπτά, seventy times seven times, i. e. countless times, Mt. xviii. 22 [cf. W. 8 37,5 Note 2; B. 30 (26) and see ἑπτά, fin.; al. (cf. R. V. mrg.) seventy-seven times, see Mey. ad loc. ].
ἑβδομηκοντάκις. If LXX Gen 4715 to be taken as determining the meaning of the phrase & ἑπτά in Mt 1833 (see Pro/eg. p. 98 and cf. Moulton G7. ii. § 72 D), the omission of the connecting “Cand” in the LXX as compared with the Heb. DIY ΠΣ still leaves it uncertain whether we are to understand 70 - 7 or 70X 7: see McNeile ad Mt Δ c. The phrase is found with the latter meaning in Zes¢. «zt. patr. Benj. vil. 4.

The Greek word ἑπτά (i.e., *hepta*) means 'seven' and is an indeclinable numeral. It appears in various New Testament passages, including Matthew and Acts. The entries note its use as a mystical number and in references to specific groups or concepts, but there is no significant disagreement among the lexicons.
ἑπτά. As we have no fresh light from our sources, it lies outside our sphere to discuss the uses of this number in the NT, but reference may be made to the notes by Allen on Mk 16%, and by Moffatt (in ΞΟ 7) on Rev 51. Note also Ac 1219 Ὁ κατέβησαν τοὺς { βαθμούς and Ey. Petr. 8 ἐπέχρισαν ἑπτὰ σφραγῖδας. MGr ἑφτά shows the aspirate in compensation for the loss (in pronunciation) of the rough breathing.

Seven
This number occurs frequently in Scripture, and in such connections as lead to the supposition that it has some typical meaning. On the seventh day God rested, and hallowed it (Gen. 2:2, 3). The division of time into weeks of seven days each accounts for many instances of the occurrence of this number. This number has been called the symbol of perfection, and also the symbol of rest. “Jacob’s seven years’ service to Laban; Pharaoh’s seven fat oxen and seven lean ones; the seven branches of the golden candlestick; the seven trumpets and the seven priests who sounded them; the seven days’ siege of Jericho; the seven churches, seven spirits, seven stars, seven seals, seven vials, and many others, sufficiently prove the importance of this sacred number” (see Lev. 25:4;
The frequent recurrence of certain numbers in the sacred literature of the Hebrews is obvious to the most superficial reader, but seven so far surpasses the rest, both in the frequency with which it recurs and in the importance of the objects with which it is associated, that it may fairly be termed the representative symbolic number. The influence of the number seven was not restricted to the Hebrews; it prevailed among the Persians, ancient Indians, Greeks and Romans. The peculiarity of the Hebrew view consists in the special dignity of the seventh, and not simply in that of seen. The Sabbath being the seventh day suggested the adoption of seven as the coefficient, so to say, for their appointment of all sacred periods; and we thus find the 7th month ushered in by the Feast of Trumpets, and signalized by the celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles and the Great Day of Atonement; 7…
As from the beginning this was the number of days in the week, so it often has in Scripture a sort of emphasis attached to it, and is very generally used as a round or perfect number. Clean beasts were taken into the ark by sevens, Ge 7:1-24. The years of plenty and famine in Egypt were marked by sevens, Ge 41:1-57. With the Jews, not only was there a seventh day Sabbath, but every seventh year was a Sabbath, and after every seven times seven years came a jubilee. Their great feasts of unleavened bread and of tabernacles were observed for seven days; the number of animals in many of their sacrifices was limited to seven. The golden candlestick had seven branches. Seven priests with seven trumpets went around the walls of Jericho seven days, and seven times on the seventh day. In…
