Best Answer
A:

Two of the gospels, named after Matthew and John, are traditionally attributed to disciples of Jesus, as are the epistles of James, John and Peter. The Book of Revelation is also usually attributed to the disciple John. This provides a total of 9 books attributed to the disciples.

New Testament scholars have carefully studied each of the books in the New Testament and say, on good grounds, that not one of these attributions is likely to be true. They say that the only reliable attributions are some of the epistles of Paul.
