The answer is: The Apostles

Luke 17:5

In Luke 17:5, when the Apostles plea, "increase our faith," it serves as a moment of deep self-awareness. They realize that following Jesus isn't simply a matter of faith but requires a profound and often daunting trust in promises they can't yet fully grasp. It’s a reminder for all of us; faith is a journey with its ups and downs, often needing encouragement along the way.

Interestingly, the context of this situation showcases the vulnerability of the Apostles. In the verses leading up to this statement, Jesus has shared some challenging teaching about forgiveness and love, by instructing them to forgive "seven times a day" if someone genuinely repents. This high standard might have been quite intimidating for them!

It's fascinating to notice how Jesus responds to their request—not with a grand bestowing of faith but rather by suggesting that even a minuscule amount of faith can accomplish incredible things, comparing it to the size of a mustard seed. He alludes to the robust potential that resides within the tiniest spark of faith.

Moreover, throughout the Bible, themes of support and communal faith assignments pop up. Remember Moses and the Israelites? Their getting up off the couch and facing the Red Sea echoes what the Apostles felt—straining towards greater faith amid insurmountable challenges. It reinforces the idea that spiritual growth often comes from striving together for something greater.
