“I tell you, not as many as seven,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven."
Most translations say "seventy times seven"; the Nearly Inspired Version and the Ever Suspect Version say "seventy-seven times".
I copied the phrase from the Reina-Valera Spanish Bible into Google Translate, and it said "seventy times seven".
I copied the Greek word used, "ἑβδομηκοντάκις", and put it into Google Translate, amd it said "seventy-nine".
I copied the phrase, "ἑβδομηκοντάκις ἑπτά" into Google Translate, and it said "seven seventh".
The purpose of my question is to check on a claim by Chuck Missler, who based his claim on the phrase meaning "seventy times seven", or four hundred and ninety.
