Exegesis
The solemn particle amēn gar legō hymin {ἀμὴν γὰρ λέγω ὑμῖν | a-mḗn gár lé-gō hy-mîn} signals authoritative instruction.
The closing clause kai ouden adynatēsei hymin {καὶ οὐδὲν ἀδυνατήσει ὑμῖν | kaí ou-DÉN a-dy-na-Tḗ-sei hy-mîn} employs ouden as subject and the future indicative verb to affirm absolute capability for the disciples.
In context — Matthew 17:20
But He says to them, “Because of your little faith , for truly I say to you, if you have faith like a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”
