Joshua 3:7-17; Matthew 18:21-19, 1
Homily
Rabbinical schools asked their disciples to forgive their wives, children, and brothers a certain number of times, with the number varying from school to school. Peter wants to know what “rate” Jesus applies. Is it stricter than that of the school that asked us to forgive a brother who had offended us up to seven times?
