“seventy-seven” is the number of times that Lamech states that he is avenged in Gen 4:24. If this is the case, Jesus’s forgiveness counteracts human revenge and self-justification as embodied by Cain and his descendents. (See criticism of this reading in Lenski, Matthew’s Gospel, 709–10.) Or it could be a symbolic representation of the age of Jubilee that Jesus brings as we suggested above. Both carry the same essential message of forgiveness in the new age.
