Luke 17:6

And the Lord said, 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.

Mark 11:23 gives the same mountain-moving faith teaching with conditions like not doubting — a direct parallel to Luke's tree-moving.

1 Corinthians 13:2 alludes to faith that moves mountains, directly echoing this teaching while prioritizing love.
