Maybe they said all these? Matt=Maran, Mark=Rabbi, and Luke=Mari.
The Curetonian and Sinaitic has Matt=Mari, Mark=Rabbuli, and Luke=Maran...
The Diatessaron has both "my Lord and Master", which seems to be the two forms of Mari and Maran, translated into English...but no hint of "Rabbuli" Teacher, as in Mark.
Now, I wonder what the Greek and Latin show in these three verses. lol

Maybe one said "Mar" and the other one said "Rab?"
In any event, this is unrelated to the point about "Rabbuli", since the alleged contradiction occurs in all versions (of course, it's not a contradiction at all.)
