"If you really believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me. But since you don't believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?"
These verses indicate that believing one thing (the Hebrew scriptures, in this case) paves the way to greater belief … and probably vice versa. Since the Jewish leaders did not believe what Moses wrote, they were not able to understand who Jesus was. Does a little faith, then, open us up to more? This passage hints that it does, but some parables that Jesus taught, such as that of the mustard seed, make it plainer. If you want more faith, dwell on the faith that you have now, and it will grow.
