Yes it is mentioned in Matthew 18:21-22 in the Parable of the Unmerciful Servant. This parable talks about forgiveness of others. "Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.' Although Jesus uses a specific number to show how many times one should forgive another, really by using such a large number he is saying that everyone should always forgive another. Seventy-seven was probably considered a very large number in biblical times.
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".

No. The Bible says God can forgive sins not men and Jesus didn't give this authority to believers.
Jesus didn't make this statement in a "story," but in a direct answer to Peter's question about forgiveness.Matthew 18:21, 22 - Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven."[NKJV]
