In the New Testament the Savior said that “if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove.” (Matthew 17:20.) Many people have assumed that the Savior was simply giving a dramatic illustration to portray the great power of faith. However, he may have been referring to an actual incident, for Ether 12:30 says that the brother of Jared “said unto the mountain Zerin, Remove—and it was removed.”
