Episode Description from the Publisher

Jesus continues his fourth discourse in instructing the disciples (Apostles) on the authority He is bestowing to them to bind and loose sins. Then Peter, in what he believes is a statement of forgiveness greater than the law requires, suggests to Jesus that seven times would be the limit. Jesus then, referencing the prophecy of Daniel explains to Peter that their mercy must be equal to His, which is unlimited. At the same time, Jesus is confirming Peter's confession that Jesus is in fact the Son of the Living God. We hear from the Fathers and Dr. Hahn, Dr. Pitre and Dr. Bergsma for further insight.
