Seven times?” “No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven!” |

Although the fig tree shall not blossom,neither shall fruit be in the vines;
the labour of the olive shall fail,
and the fields shall yield no meat;
the flock shall be cut off from the fold,
and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.Next verse!With image
