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]

In The Bible, Jesus tells a parable about forgiveness in which he suggests forgiving someone "seventy times seven times." This underscores the importance of forgiveness and the need to keep forgiving others without limit.

Was Jesus born in a barn?

From the story in Luke 2:1-7 we surmise that Jesus was born in a stable, or a barn if you like, as we are told that Mary wrapped Jesus in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger. A manger is a feed trough that is most commonly found in a structure that is used for animals. Some tradition says that the stable or barn was actually a cave that was used as a place to keep animals for a short period of time.
