If you can? said Jesus. Everything is possible for one who believes — the reframing is immediate: you are asking if I can; the real question is whether you believe. The if you can is returned to the father: not Jesus' power but the father's faith is the condition being addressed. Everything is possible for one who believes — not the father's faith as the power source but as the channel through which Jesus' power is received. The saying is not a general principle about positive thinking but a specific invitation to the father to move from conditional doubt (if you can) to trusting confidence.
