The YLT and the ASV word it as “a” measure of faith.
I believe we all start out the same, but it’s up to us to develop our faith.
As we don’t have the same spiritual gifts, I don’t think we all have the same spiritual faith.
Not because God didn’t give it to us, but because of what we do with it.
Thomas comes to mind. I think he had less faith than the rest of them.
And Peter… he had the faith to walk on the water, but when he took his focus off of Jesus, he started to sink. He lost the faith he needed to stay on top of the water in an instant.
