The synoptic gospels were written by:
Matthew, an apostle of Jesus (Matt. 9:9; 10:3) and eyewitness to many of the events related in his gospel, though not some of the earlier events prior to his calling.
Mark, also known as John Mark; a disciple of Jesus though not an apostle, he was well-acquainted with Peter (Acts 12:12), and was a compatriot and fellow-worker with Barnabas and Paul (Acts 12:25). There is evidence that he was an eyewitness to at least some of the events he relates (Mark 14:51, 52 - no other gospel mentions this young man, whom many take to be Mark himself).
Luke, the physician (Colossians 4:14) and only Gentile writer represented in The Bible. Neither apostle nor eyewitness, he was a thorough historian who shared in Paul's missionary work (2 Timothy 4:11) and also wrote the church's early history, Acts of the Apostles.
Whether they were eyewitnesses to the events they recorded is quite beside the point, as all of their writings were inspired by the Holy Spirit (2 Tim. 3:16).

∙ 8y agoThe synoptic gospels are the three gospels attributed to the apostles Matthew, Mark and Luke. However, these attributions belong to the second century, not the first.
All the New Testament gospels were originally anonymous and we do not actually know who really wrote them. Biblical scholars say that the gospels could not have been written by eyewitnesses to the events that they describe, which would certainly rule out Matthew and John as authors. Moreover, it is suggested that the story of Jesus told in Luke's Gospel would have been unacceptable to Paul, ruling out a close associate of his as the author.

John's Gospel might have been written by more than one evangelist.
