A very interesting footnote for sure! Only Luke 22:20 speaks of a new covenant by the way, and then the phrase occurs another 6 times later on in the Epistles, half of which in Hebrews - how biblical academia has continued to assume for centuries that the Epistles precede Gospels is mindboggling. Also, I can't find the yoke phrase you're referring to here; yet φόρτος means a ship's cargo and φορτίον is merely the diminutive - and the yoke being χρηστὸς naturally is very significant (and a few scribes naturally turn that into Xristos, in a dozen 8-11th CE manuscripts)

Your point regarding John is valid of course. Interestingly, the impaling of IS has a reverse timeframe where (canonical) John doesn't mention any times at all, Mark a precise 6 hour time span, and both Matthew as Luke a minimum of 3.
Putting John in the back, instead of the pole position it takes in the majority of earliest manuscript collections (as well as the order of the fourfold gospel in Irenaeus' from Against Heresies Book 3 Chapter 11 verse 8, despite David Trobisch' falsification of that in his 2023 book 'On the Origin of Christian Scripture: The Evolution of the New Testament Canon in the Second Century') solved many problems for the rearrangement by Mark ff of several key elements; it now appears as if John got his facts wrong - yet only to the unobserving eye, although the vast majority of eyes in this field are of that nature

From my book, footnote 146 (layout and emphasis lost here, naturally):

>>>
146 Irenaeus lets his pen slip in his infamous four pillar story from Against Heresies Book 3 Chapter 11 verse 8. Starting after 1/3rd of the chapter: ‘And therefore the Gospels are in accord with these things, among which Christ Jesus is seated. For that according to John … But that according to Luke … Matthew, again … Mark, on the other hand …’ gives away the original order: John, then Luke (*Ev re-packaged). David Trobisch in his most recent book On the Origin of Christian Scripture: The Evolution of the New Testament Canon in the Second Century, Fortress, 2023, insists on misrepresenting that fact by citing only the first two sentences of the reference above while explicitly claiming (emphasis mine) ‘Because the four authors Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John appear in the exact order as they do in the Four-Gospel volume, Irenaeus is most likely depending on the Canonical Edition.’ (page 14).
