Why were the gospels not written immediately after Jesus' death and resurrection?

In those times many people could not read or write and relied on stories being conveyed orally.
From the introduction of Luke it would seem that there were some things written by people but Luke's purpose was to write an "orderly account".
Luke 1:1-3 Dear Theophilus: Many people have done their best to write a report of the things that have taken place among us. They wrote what we have been told by those who saw these things from the beginning and who proclaimed the message. And so, Your Excellency, because I have carefully studied all these matters from their beginning, I thought it would be good to write an orderly account for you.
Possibly when errors started to enter in to some churches the accounts of Jesus' life were written down.

∙ 8y agoJesus' disciples were common fishermen, they could not read or write, their first hand account of the life of Christ had to be recorded for posterity by others. However, the letters of St. Paul (converted by Christ posthumously on the road to Damascus) are by his own hand. There can be no doubt that the Gospels are a pretty accurate account of Christs teachings, perhaps with stuff left out (by the council of Nicene) rather than stuff put in or altered. The Old Testament and "the book of Revelations" have less credibility.
