Is 77 mentioned in Bible?

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.


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".
