My neighbor, my self

Peter Ward

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. 

—Matthew 18:21, 22

“Seventy times seven” is a symbol.
Four hundred ninety is not enough—
how many times I’ve borne false witness;
how many times I haven’t loved.
