Find for me from scripture where the disciples taught that Mary was to be revered or that they taught that Mary was bodily taken to heaven.Luke 11:27:They simply revered her: Luke 11:27.
In Luke 11:28 Jesus rebukes the statement in 27 to make it clear that Mary isn't to be exalted above all other humans and in fact the following includes her.27As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you."
It's clear from the words of Jesus that all are blessed if they hear the word of God and obey it. Mary did this, and so has every Christian since the beginning that has that personal "saved" relationship with God.28He replied, “Blessed rather [Adverb - Used to indicate one's preference in a particular matter] are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
Here is your statement at the end sent back to you, with a little editing:

Indeed. Correct so far; this is why we venerate many saints and not just Mary.

No one is saved till he is dead and we see all his works (Mt 25:31-46). This is why we do not venerate living people as saints. And of course, the scripture does not contain that personal ad-lib of yours. Read the scripture attentively and you will become a Catholic like me, and understand it.
