The Bible was written for the uneducated and meant to be read aloud. It was more than likely first written in Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke when he taught and later it would be translated in Greek and Latin.

Are any of the authors of 4 Gospels disciples of Jesus?

Matthew and John were disciples.


Who of the original twelve disciples wrote books of the Bible?

Christian tradition attributes the Gospels of Matthew and John to two of the twelve disciples. Epistles are also attributed to James, John, Jude and Peter.Actually, none of the twelve disciples wrote any book that we see in the New Testament. The four gospels were written anonymously and were only attributed th the disciples whose names they now bear, later in the second century. Scholars say that these gospels were not written by eyewitnesses to the events they portray. None of the epistles can be attributed to any of the disciples. In fact, Jude clearly identifies itself as a second-century book, while 2 Peter includes almost all of the material in Jude, proof that 2 Peter was also written during the second century. Scholars have looked closely at all these works to find evidence of the original disciples, but see nothing in the gospels or epistles that points back to any of the disciples.


In what language were the gospels of the New Testament first written?

AnswerThe gospels of the New Testament were first written in Greek.


Were the Gospels written by the Disciples?

No. The New Testament gospels were written anonymously, and only later in the second century were they attributed to the disciples by Church Fathers.In fact, the authors of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke are now known to have relied on Mark's Gospel for everything they knew about the life and mission of Jesus. John's Gospel, in turn, was inspired by Luke's Gospel, with a small amount of material taken direct from Mark. It is most improbable that disciples such as Matthew and John, said to be eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus, would need to rely so completely on the testimony of Mark, who even conservative Christians concede was not an eyewitness. Moreover, scholars say that the author of Mark's Gospel was not the Mark mentioned by the apostle Paul.We do not know who the anonymous authors of the gospels really were, but scholars say with confidence that they were not the disciples.
