What does oft mean?
Oft is a poetic way of saying "often."
Can you have two adverbs in a row?
Yes, it is okay and surprisingly oft used, as in this sentence: (or the one I just used :P)I love him so much.
How many time did jesus say forgive?
From the King James versionMat 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?Mat 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
How many times in the Bible did Jesus tell us to forgive?
From Matthew 18:21-22: Then came Peter to him, and said, 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. So we should forgive 490 times. On the other hand, maybe this is meant figuratively, as "many, many times".
Why did Jesus ask peter to forgive his brother 77 times?
In the King James version it is not 77 times but 490 timesMat 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?Mat 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.This is done as an emphasis - Peter suggests "seven", but Jesus counters that this is far too few, and grossly exaggerates it for emphatic effect.
