Marsha Trimble Dunstan Interpretation:
must rid or reduce lack of faith before miracles can occur (see Matthew 9:18-25 [Jesus requested the “laughing” (without faith) crowd be put out before He performed His miracle]); will sap true measures of faith; lack of faith will subtract from the power that comes from true measures of faith, resulting in a reduction of power (see Matthew 9:18-25; 13:58 [Jesus did not do many miracles because of the lack of faith found in His hometown]).
