Luke 17:3-4 (NLT)
3 [Jesus continued] “So watch yourselves! If another believer [1] sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance, forgive. 4 Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive.”

[1]
Greek, your brother.

DRAWING NOTES:

TIME OF DAY:
Unspecified in Bible narrative.

LIGHTING NOTES:
The sun (unseen, high in the sky & on the right) illuminates this scene.

CHARACTERS PRESENT:
From left to right: a young man counting the number seven on his fingers, a woman punching a man’s arm.
Various disciples of Jesus, an un-named woman, Bartholomew/Nathaniel, Thaddeus/Judas (son of James), Jesus (in his usual blue outer robe), two un-named men, Philip, an un-named woman.

RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This scene is set on the shore of the Sea of Galilee.

This scene follows on immediately from the previous one. Here we see Jesus teaching his disciples about forgiveness. I have used the same lower right hand corner figures as in the previous scene, but have added three new figures in the top left part of the picture. We can see a woman in a brown outer robe punching a man in a green robe. That is my simple visual representation of the sin Jesus was referring too. The young man is counting seven on his fingers, in reference to verse 4 above, “Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive.”

“Not only are Jesus’ followers not to cause others to sin; they also are to counteract sin by forgiving others (17:3-4). One should rebuke a brother if he sins. If he repents, he is to be forgiven even if he sins and repents over and over. The words seven times in a day denote a completeness—as often as it happens.”
