A:

Ever since the second century, Christians have believed that the author of Matthew's Gospel was one of the apostles and that he wrote the Gospel from his own experiences. However, the gospels were all originally anonymous, and modern New Testament scholars say that none of them could have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed.

Matthew had two main sources for his Gospel. The first is Mark's Gospel. Scholars have established that Matthew contains some 90 per cent of the verses in Mark, often in the same words in the original Greek language. The second main source is believed to have been the hypothetical 'Q' document, as a source for sayings attributed to Jesus. The source of Matthew's nativity story and genealogy of Jesus are unknown but scholars say they are not historical, so they may have originated with Matthew.
