Truly I say to you, if ye have faith, as a corn of sinapi, ye shall say to this hill, Pass thou [from] hence, and it shall pass (away); and nothing shall be impossible to you; (Jesus said to them, Because of your lack of faith. I tell you the truth, if ye have faith, like a kernel, or a grain, of mustard seed, ye shall say to this mountain, Go away from here, and it shall go away; and nothing shall be impossible for you;)
