Exegesis
The comparative particle hos {ὡς | hôs} ‘as/like’ with kokkon {κόκκον | kó-kkon} ‘grain’ and the genitive sinapeōs {σινάπεως | si-ná-pe-ōs} ‘of mustard’ creates a simile of extremely small quantity.
In context — Luke 17:6
And the Lord said, "If you have faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this sycamine tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you."
