In the Bible, Mark 10:17-18 says:
- Jesus was coming out to the road,
- A man came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him,
"Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"
- Jesus said to him:
"Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone"
-------------------------------
Now, who believe in this verse?
1- The Jews? No, they do not believe in Jesus; so, they do not believe in his sayings.
2- The Christians? No. they do believe that Jesus is God, although Jesus denied that He is not the good one; and No one is good except God alone"
3- The Muslims? Yes, they do believe as the Quran says that Jesus is a great Prophet and there is no god(s) but One, the Almighty Creator.

Now, let us see Jesus' answer in 23 different versions of the Bible:
"No one is good except God alone" is found in seven Bible's versions
In the other Biblical versions, Jesus answered
- Only God is good in three versions
- There is none good but one, that is, God in two versions
- No one is good but One, that is, God in two versions
No one [is] good except One – GodThe following Jesus' answer is found in one version each; it is:
- None is good save one, even God
- No one is good but One—God
- No one is good except God
- No one is good, only God
- Only God is truly good
- There is no one [essentially and perfectly morally] good--except God alone
- There is no man good, but God himself.

Mark 10:17-18 in New King James Version; that is the most correct translation of the original Greek verse.
17 Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"
18 So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.
