The oldest and best authorities followed by the Edd. omit "to believe," though it has large MSS. support. Perhaps the difficulty may have led to the omission. The question of power hinges on faith. I am disposed, to think that our Lord meant, The "if you can" is to believe, that is to say, the question of power, turns on believing, [not on the Lord’s limited power]; "all things are possible to him that believeth." After "believe" many MSS. add "Lord," which the Edd. reject.
