Exegesis
The interrogative adverb posakis {ποσάκις | posákis} introduces a question about frequency, which is further defined by the future verb hamartesei {ἁμαρτήσει | hamartḗsei} and the prepositional phrase eis eme {εἰς ἐμέ | eis emé}, specifying repeated sin directed “against me.”
In context — Matthew 18:21
Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord , how many times will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”
