Increase Our Faith

In the King James Bible, Luke 17:5 reads, "And the apostles said unto the Lord, 'Increase our faith.'" The poem below is the Lord's reply to the apostles.


AND THE LORD SAID UNTO THE APOSTLES
A Poem of Jesus Christ
A found poem from the Bible:
Luke 17:6 (King James Version)

If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed,
ye might say unto this sycamine tree,
"Be thou plucked up by the root,
and be thou planted in the sea";
and it should obey you.


Note: The sycamine is a tree of the Bible that is usually considered a mulberry (Morus nigra).
