What brought the apostles to recognize their great need of faith (Luke 17:5)?

Answered by Gene Cunningham, Basic Training Bible Ministries · from The Basics, Lesson 1–5: The Potential—Faith

One of the most simple, mundane situations of life. Jesus had just told them to forgive each other. He had said that if their brother sins against them seven times a day and returns asking for forgiveness seven times, they must forgive him. Their response was, "This is going to take some faith. Lord, increase our faith."
