(Levitiko 4:6; 25:8; 26:18; Salimo 119:164; Chivumbulutso 1:20; 13:1; 17:10) Yesu anatchula nambala ya 7 mobwereza pamene anauza Petulo kuti azikhululukira m’bale wake “osati nthawi 7 zokha ayi, koma, Mpaka nthawi 77.” Pamenepa Yesu ankatanthauza kuti tizikhululukira ena popanda malire.​—Mateyu 18:​21, 22.
