The stories came from eyewitnesses or eyewitness accounts of his life and teachings.
Eyewitness accounts of Jesus reveal that he was a charismatic and influential figure who preached about love, compassion, and forgiveness. His teachings emphasized the importance of helping others and living a life of humility and service. Witnesses also reported miracles attributed to Jesus, such as healing the sick and raising the dead, which added to his reputation as a divine figure. Overall, these accounts provide insight into the impact Jesus had on those around him and the enduring legacy of his teachings.
Jesus was fully human in his ability to feel physical pain and suffering. The eyewitness accounts indicate that He was suffering much.
Unfortunately there are no eyewitness accounts of the life or teachings of Jesus anywhere in the Bible or elsewhere. Even conservative Christians concede that the Gospels of Mark and Luke were not written by eyewitnesses. Scholars say that all the New Testament gospels were written anonymously and that they were not attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John until later in the second century. They say that the Gospels of Matthew and John were unlikely to have been written by the disciples of those names, so that even these gospels were not eyewitness accounts. The gospels are certainly accounts about Jesus, but they were not written by eyewitnesses or even by some who knew eyewitnesses.
Knowing that the New Testament is based on true accounts means that every word of it is true. It means that Jesus Christ really did exist, really claimed to be God, really died, and really rose again. It brings plausibility to Christianity. So many people agreeing that Jesus' claims are real and that the Gospel stories are true means that Jesus is Lord and he did die for our sins, and believing in him is the way to Heaven. If I didn't think the eyewitness accounts of Jesus were true, I wouldn't be so convinced that any of the new testament was real.
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the main books of the bible about Jesus. THey talk about his life from eyewitness accounts to hearing what others have said about what they saw.

Most biblical scholars believe that the Gospel of Matthew was not written by an eyewitness of Jesus' ministry, but by a second-generation Christian who compiled various sources, including the oral traditions of the early Christian community. It is thought to have been written between 80-90 AD.
Matthew and John (as two of Jesus' twelve disciples) were with Him when He was betrayed, making their gospels eyewitness accounts. (Matthew 26, John 18)Mark, though not one of the twelve, may also have been an eyewitness to the event. His gospel is the only one that makes mention of "a certain young man," in Mark 14:51, 52.Since Mark alone records this occurrence, some surmise that the young man was Mark himself. If so, he too would have been an eyewitness.
Kraken eyewitness accounts can happen anywhere at any time. Most Kraken encounters happen in the Indian ocean and in scandenavia. When you are in those parts of the world watch out for the Kraken!
