CommentJeromePublic domainMatthew 17:19–21

Some think that the faith that is compared to a grain of mustard-seed is a little faith, whereas the Apostle says, “If I shall have such faith that I could remove mountains.” [1 Cor 13:2] The faith therefore which is compared to a grain of mustard-seed is a great faith.
