for one is for you the teacher

where Matthew 19:17 had said
εἷς ἐστιν ὁ ἀγαθός
one is the good

after Mark 10:18
οὐδεὶς ἀγαθὸς εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ θεός

no one is good than one the God

Mark 8:27,

Mark 4:10-11 distincted between those around him and those outside
ἠρώτων αὐτὸν οἱ περὶ αὐτὸν σὺν τοῖς δώδεκα τὰς παραβολάς. καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, Ὑμῖν τὸ μυστήριον δέδοται τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ: ἐκείνοις δὲ τοῖς ἔξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τὰ πάντα γίνεται
μυστήριον

Luke 2:29-32
Νῦν ἀπολύεις τὸν δοῦλόν σου, δέσποτα, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου ἐν εἰρήνῃ· ὅτι εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου τὸ σωτήριόν σου ὃ ἡτοίμασας κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν λαῶν, φῶς εἰς ἀποκάλυψιν ἐθνῶν καὶ δόξαν λαοῦ σου Ἰσραήλ.

esv.org/Luke+2/
κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου
also in Luke 1:38
εἶπεν δὲ Μαριάμ, Ἰδοὺ ἡ δούλη κυρίου· γένοιτό μοι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου. καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ' αὐτῆς ὁ ἄγγελος.
esv.org/Luke+1/
and I bet it builds on Deuteronomy 8 cited in Matthew 4:4,
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, Γέγραπται, Οὐκ ἐπ' ἄρτῳ μόνῳ ζήσεται ὁ ἄνθρωπος, ἀλλ' ἐπὶ παντὶ ῥήματι ἐκπορευομένῳ διὰ στόματος θεοῦ.

Luke 13:18-19

κόκκος - a kernel of seed; grain of corn
biblehub.com/greek/2848.htm

κῆπος - a garden
biblehub.com/greek/2779.htm

John 20:15
ἐκείνη δοκοῦσα ὅτι ὁ κηπουρός ἐστιν

But we kept hoping that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.

Matthew 24:34-35
ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη ἕως ἂν πάντα ταῦτα γένηται. ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ παρελεύσεται, οἱ δὲ λόγοι μου οὐ μὴ παρέλθωσιν.

παρέρχομαι
biblehub.com/greek/3928.htm
KJV translates

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

English "pass away" = to die
But "to die" is not a meaning of παρέρχομαιkingjamesbible.me/Matthew-Chapte…

John 1:15,
Ἰωάννης μαρτυρεῖ περὶ αὐτοῦ (= the word that became flesh)
καὶ κέκραγεν λέγων, Οὗτος ἦν ὃν εἶπον, Ὁ ὀπίσω μου ἐρχόμενος ἔμπροσθέν μου γέγονεν, ὅτι πρῶτός μου ἦν

Οὗτος ἦν also in John 1:2,
οὗτος ἦν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν θεόν
cf. Rashi on Genesis 1:1
in the beginning it was his intention to create it with the standard of justice, but he perceived that the world would not endure; so he preceded it with the standard of mercy, allying it with the standard of justice

sefaria.org/Rashi_on_Genes…
It is to this that what is written in (Genesis 2:4) alludes — “In the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven”

Rashi on Genesis 2:4, The verse teaches you that all of them were created on the first day when God made earth and heaven
