He said to them: because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you. The mustard seed faith — the smallest faith that is genuinely faith — moves mountains. The contrast between the disciples' little faith (which failed to cast out the demon) and the mustard seed faith (which moves mountains) communicates that the issue is not the quantity of faith but its quality: genuine faith, however small, accesses divine power. The nothing will be impossible for you is the promise of prayer in chapter 18.
