Mustard Seed Faith

                                                                        MATTHEW 17:20

Common English Version = Because you have little faith, he said, I assure you that if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, , Go from here to there, and it will go. There will be nothing that you can't do.
Amplified Bible = He said to them, Because of the littleness of your faith [that is your lack of firm trust]. For truly I say to you, if you have faith [that is living] like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to yonder place, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
Contemporary English Version = It is because you don't have enough faith! But I promise you this. If  you had faith no larger than a mustard seed, you could tell this mountain to move from here to there. And it would. Everything wold be possible for you.
New Century Version = Jesus answered, Because your faith is too small. I tell you the truth, if your faith is as big as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move. All things will be possible for you.
New International Version = Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.
New King James Version = So Jesus said to them , Because of your un belief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountian, Move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
King James Version = And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief. For verily I unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain , Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible for you.
My Version = Jesus said, if  only you had the faith as small as a mustard seed, you could say to your mountains (sin, lonelyness, poverty, sickness etc etc), go away from me, and they will go from you, and if you keep your faith nothing will be impossible for you.

Wow !!! My faith is about the size of a mustard seed, and I'm going to start useing it to remove my personal mountians that I have in my life, and watch my faith grow into a fully grown  tree and produce muc fruit.

My Blogging

I am a Christian, I'm not in ministry or any thing. I am new to blogging, I use blogspot.com as my personal storage shed for scriptures that I'm studying and my thoughts on them. If anybody benefits from them, that is all well and good, and I hope that they will be a blessing to them....
