All of us.
Christians approach the Word with a confirmation bias toward defending flawed doctrines so it falls on us to test everything. Many don't like being tested...it hurts when a more profound truth is presented, and it requires the letting go of previously held beliefs.
That's the type of pain the pharisees felt from the Lord. But for the most they were unteachable. F2F
John answers it in 1 John 2:16...hence why God in raising up a son with sins flesh overcame it!
The Bible story is rather simple its all the philosophy man has assigned to it which has caused Christians much strife.

When Jesus deflected the title of good master to Him who alone is Good you ought to understand why he did this!
You could add to the Lords reply NOT ONE! is good!
For context See Rom 3:10 which is quoting Psalm 14:1-3
Enjoy!

What a testimony Christ was teaching not only about himself and the latent desire to sin with him but also about His God.
The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
3 They have all turned aside, They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one.

The devil was destroyed on the cross i.e sin's power broken! The Prince of this world has been overcome!
Not sure what Bible you are reading sorry.

There are two (2) verses that may be used to support the belief that Jesus Christ raised himself from the dead, and a couple dozen verses that plainly and clearly say that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Do the math.
If Jesus raised himself from the dead, was he really dead? And if Jesus wasn't really dead, did he really pay the price for our sins?
I guess I need to unpack this for you.
Jesus here was referring to the religious rulers as per 1 Corinthians 2:7-8
7 No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
Like I said\, and I will say it again...Jesus destroyed all those who would be deceived by the Lust of the Flesh, the Lust of the Eyes and the Pride of Life....here you referenced the religious elite who desired to retain their power under Roman rule by crucifing their Messiah.
I don't know what you are reading into the text buts it's as clear is the cloudless sky I'm looking at outside my window.

Also note; these authorities (prince of that Israelitish world) had no hold on Christ at all!
