At Mark 12:28-34, Jesus and the Jewish scribe were discussing Jesus' Father.
Jesus had known all along that the one true God is a three person being.
Jesus never conceived of such an idea since His Father alone was His one and only true God.
When Jesus said, "I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God," he didn't mean that our God is not a three person God.
When Jesus said, "I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God," he meant His Father alone is His one God and His Father alone is to also be our one God.
While Jesus' one and only God was/is not a three person God, our one God is indeed a three person being.
Because Jesus' one and only God was/is His Father alone, our one and only God is the Father alone.
The Bible says that our one God is the Triune God.
The Bible says that our one God is the Father (1 Corinthians 8:6).
