Exegesis

The prepositional construction Dia tēn oligopistian hymōn {Διὰ τὴν ὀλιγοπιστίαν ὑμῶν | Diá tḕn o-li-go-pis-tí-an hy-môn} expresses causation (“because of your little faith”), with the accusative governing the abstract noun.

In contextMatthew 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.”
