Mk 10:18b ... "No one (is) good, ..."

The third phrase has these 2 dialog words, ... oudeis agathos ["not one (is) good, ..."].

The 2 dialog words are top down from Jesus to the empty equilateral triangle. The word "oudeis" comes from oude (not) and heis (one). "Oude also introduces a statement that is negated factually and deductively (it occurs 137 times in the NT). That is, the negation rules out (invalidates) the statement that precedes it, and what naturally extends from it" (Biblos word studies). Jesus tells the youth that "not one mortal man is good." The diagrams for the last two phrases will show the youth and the reader the exception to this rule.
