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]

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.
