Although written decades after the events they portray, the four New Testament gospels are the only record that we have of the life and mission of Jesus. If in fact, they were written independently of each other, they could be regarded as substantial proof that the events they portray really did happen. However, scholars say that Matthew and Luke were really based on Mark's Gospel, and that John was, in turn, inspired by Luke's Gospel, with some material taken direct from Mark. They say that none of the gospels was really written by eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus.

Why are all four Gospels found in the New Testament?
A:Not all the gospels are in the New Testament. Of the dozens of gospels that were written, the Church Fathers chose the four gospels that most closely represented the form of Christianity that they preached, and which they were willing to assert to have truly been written during apostolic times. Even the Gospel of Thomas, which may have been the earliest gospel, was omitted. Rather than select just one of the four, Irenaeus insisted there must be four gospels. This could be justified because Matthew places Jesus in an Old Testament context better than the others, Luke seems to place Jesus in a historical context and John is the only gospel that says that Jesus was divine.
