Luke 17:5-6 YLT
And the apostles said to the Lord, `Add to us faith;'and the Lord said, `If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.
How much faith do you need? Just a little. How great is that?
συκάμινος sykaminos; of Hebrew origin (h8256) in imitation of 4809; a sycamore-fig tree: — sycamine tree.
The mulberry tree here is translated as fig tree in the parable of the withered fig tree that produced no fruit. This sykaminos tree has leaves similar to a fig tree, and even bears a fig-like fruit. However, it is not a fig. It is incapable of producing a fig. The fruit is not there. It is uprooted from dry land and thrown into the sea.
