How did Matthew write the Gospel?

A:It is a Christian tradition that because Matthew was a disciple of Jesus, he simply wrote down everything he learnt from Jesus. Some even say that Matthew's Gospel must have originally been written in Aramaic, even if we have no early Aramaic manuscripts. Matthew's Gospel was actually written anonymously and was not attributed to Matthew until later in the second century. Scholars say that the Gospel could not have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed, which means that Matthew could not have been the author.Matthew's Gospel was written in Greek, and scholars have shown that it was largely derived from Mark's Gospel, with additional material from the hypothetical 'Q' Document. Whenever Matthew agrees with Mark, the passages are surprisingly similar, often being written in exactly the same words in the Greek language. This could not have happened unless one of the gospels was being copied in Greek, and scholars are satisfied that Mark was indeed the original. Scholars are unable to identify any source for the material unique to Matthew, such as the nativity and resurrection accounts.
