A:All four New Testament gospels were originally anonymous and only attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John later in the second century. The gospel now known as John's Gospel was actually attributed to Cyrenthus before finally being attributes to John.
The attributions to Matthew, Mark, Luke and Johnmean that Matthew and John were then considered to be witten by Jesus' disciples, while Mark and Luke were not.
Modern New Testament scholars say that there is no good reason to accept the traditional attributions, and that none of the gospels could have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed. On this evidence, all the New Testament gospels were written by people who were not disciples.
