LOST IN TRANSLATION

This is a perfect example of a quote that looks like a sentence but which is actually as statement followed by and answer to a question. The verb "be accomplished" is singular. The "all things" is plural, so it wasn't the subject of the original phrase. We also see how Jesus sees prophecy as having created itself through the mediation of people.

"Behold" is from an adverb meaning "Lo! Behold!" and "See there!"

"We go up" is from a verb which means "go up", "shoot up," and "ascend." It is also a word that means "ascending to higher knowledge."

The word translated as "to" means "into" a place, "towards" as a direction, and "up to" limits in time and measure.

Jerusalem is the name of the city. Since it is Aramaic, different spellings are used in Greek.

The Greek word translated as "and" is used as the conjunction "and", but in a series, as it appears here, it is best translated as "not only...but also."

The word translated as "all things" is the Greek adjective meaning "all", "the whole", "every," and similar ideas. The form is plural neutral, which is what the "things" comes from. 

"That are written " is the Greek verb that  means "to mark", "to express by written characters", "to write a letter", "to write down [a law]", and so on. It has the same root as the "letter" above.  It is in the form of an adjective of something completed itself in the past.  However, it is in the middle voice so it isn't passive but something being acted on by itself, "having  written themselves" or, more precisely, "having been written by themselves". Jesus often talks about the OT as something that created itself through men.

The word translated as "by" means "through," in the midst of," or "by (a cause)." The "through" works best because the laws wrote themselves. People were a method.

The Greek word translated as "prophets" means "one who speaks for God", "interpreter" and was the highest level of priesthood in Egypt. Christ uses it to refer not only to divine spokespeople, but their books in the OT. It is the verb that means "to shine before." Our words "luminaries", "star", and "enlightened"  captures the idea very well. 

"Concerning" is from the form of the word "son".

The phrase "the son of man" is the common way Christ refers to himself. It is discussed in detail in this article. Its sense is "the child of the man." The word translated as "son" more generally means "child" or "descendant". It is in the form of an indirect object. The Greek word for "of man" in the singular means "person" and "humanity". It has an article, "the man".

"Shall be accomplished" is translated from a Greek word, which means "to complete" and "to accomplish," especially in the sense of having goal. It also means "to bring to perfection." The form is the future passive, so "is doing to be accomplished".  The word appears before the subject so
