Matthew 17:18-20 GW
Jesus ordered the demon to come out of the boy. At that moment the boy was cured. (19) Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, "Why couldn't we force the demon out of the boy?" (20) He told them, "Because you have so little faith. I can guarantee this truth: If your faith is the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Matthew 17:18-20 ALT
(18) And Jesus rebuked it, and the demon came out from him, and the boy was healed from that hour. (19) Then the disciples having approached Jesus privately said, "Why were we not able to cast it out?" (20) So Jesus said to them, "Because of your* unbelief. For positively I say to you*, if you* are having faith like a grain of mustard [or, a mustard seed], you* will say to this mountain, 'Move from here [to] there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible to you*.

Matthew 17:18-20 BBE
(18) And Jesus gave orders to the unclean spirit, and it went out of him: and the boy was made well from that hour. (19) Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, Why were we not able to send it out? (20) And he says to them, Because of your little faith: for truly I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Be moved from this place to that; and it will be moved; and nothing will be impossible to you.

Matthew 17:18-20 CEV
(18) Then Jesus spoke sternly to the demon. It went out of the boy, and right then he was healed. (19) Later the disciples went to Jesus in private and asked him, "Why couldn't we force out the demon?" (20) Jesus replied: It is because you don't have enough faith! But I can promise you this. If you had faith no larger than a mustard seed, you could tell this mountain to move from here to there. And it would. Everything would be possible for you.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
