New Testament Matthew 18:22
"I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven."

Shared words: until seventy times seven

Divergences: the gospel's verse is an answer correcting a proposed number; the revelation states the figure directly as the terminus of a rule it has been building for three verses, and attaches a condition the gospel verse does not state in its own words - the enemy's repentance. 'seventy times seven' stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus - these two.
