Scholars tell us that none of the gospels was an eyewitness account. This is evidenced in the case of Matthew's Gospel by the fact that the Gospel was written in Greek and the author used Mark's Gospel as his primary source of information about the life and mission of Jesus. Had the author been an eyewitness, he would surely have written an original account.

Most biblical scholars believe that the Gospel of Matthew was not written by an eyewitness of Jesus' ministry, but by a second-generation Christian who compiled various sources, including the oral traditions of the early Christian community. It is thought to have been written between 80-90 AD.

Did Matthew write in the Bible?
A:Matthew, one of the twelve disciples, was credited in the second century with writing the gospel that now bears his name but was originally anonymous. However, modern scholars say that the gospel could not have been written by an eyewitness to the events described. One of the reasons for this is that it has been demonstrated by a parallel reading in the original Greek language that Matthew's Gospel was substantially based on that of Mark. An eyewitness would never have copied another account so closely. This means that Matthew did not write the gospel or any other book in the Bible.
