Note that when Jesus says "Why do you call me good? God alone is good", He is not actually denying that He is good, but rather that if you call Him good, that is tantamount to recognizing His divinity. To me, that sounds like the simplest interpretation that is consistent with Jesus' knowledge of His own divinity.
Why did Peter even have a sword at Gethsemani? He was a fisherman, not a soldier. I doubt that the Romans allowed Jewish ordinary citizens to be armed like that. Leads to revolutionary activity...
Another illustration that the Bible is full of ambiguity. With what authority does this scholar say that a dead man was not really dead, but very well alive? The same goes for the word hate. According to St. Thomas Aquinas hate is the irrational desire to want to eliminate someone. Our scholar proposes another meaning, i.e. not like very much. And this goes on and on.
