NASB | Matthew 17:20 And He *said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 17:20 He answered, "Because of your little faith [your lack of trust and confidence in the power of God]; for I assure you and most solemnly say to you, if you have [living] faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and [if it is God's will] it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. [Mark 11:23; Luke 17:6; 1 John 5:14] |
Bible Question:
Hi, I'm here today to maybe have a discussion about passage in the bible in the book of Matthew. Where Jesus tells us if you have faith of a mustard seed, then you can tell this mountain to move here and it will move. Can someone explain the simplicity of that passage and what kind of faith that is? Also when they say move a mountain does he mean our own problems or does he mean an actual mountain in a plain? Thank You |
Bible Answer: Know and understand that GOD fortunately doesn't grant all our requests. Look at a small lake and throw in a small rock and watch the results. Are you making a request just to show you have faith? Are you aware that the general anethesia is made of the mustard seed? Matthew 13:31-32 He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. 32Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches." Remember to move a mountain it does'nt have to be the whole thing in one spoken word. Spoonsful still add up. |
