In other words, Matthew is a purely derivative gospel and we could consider Mark to be a potentially more reliable source for information about Jesus. However, Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that Markseems to depend on traditions (and perhaps already shaped sources) received in Greek. This means that even Mark's Gospel need not really be a reliable source of information about Jesus.
Matthew gives the geology of Jesus christ in the beginning.
The two disciples Matthew and John wrote Gospels about Jesus' life. Many also believe that Peter was an important source for the Gospel of Mark.
There is no extra-biblical proof of the historicity of the disciple Matthew. Scholars say that the Gospel According to St Matthew was not attributed to the disciple Matthew until the middle of the second century. The reasoning of the Church Fathers was that the Gospel must have been written by an eyewitness to the events in the life of Jesus, and they felt that internal clues in the Gospel pointed to Matthew. However, we now know that Matthew used Mark's Gospel as his primary source on the life of Jesus, somthing that a real eyewitness would not have needed to do.

Saint Matthew is important in Christianity as one of the Twelve Apostles chosen by Jesus. He is traditionally credited with writing the Gospel of Matthew, one of the four canonical gospels in the New Testament. His writings provide an important source of information about the life and teachings of Jesus.
A:THe four books are the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, which can be found in the New Testament section ofthe Christian Bible.It has been established that Mark was the first New Testament gospel to be written, and that and this was the major source for the other gospels, either directly (Matthew, Luke) or indirectly (John). Hence, Mark's Gospel is the primary source of information about the life of Jesus.
Actually, the visit of the Magi to the baby Jesus is not recorded in Luke's gospel but in the Gospel of Matthew. The story can be found in Matthew 2:1-12. Luke's gospel includes the nativity story, but it focuses more on the shepherds who visited Jesus after his birth.
The Gospel of Matthew tells of the magi visiting Jesus.
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, one of Jesus' apostles, last saw Jesus after His resurrection. According to the Gospel of Matthew, the final encounter occurred on a mountain in Galilee, where the resurrected Jesus appeared to His disciples and commissioned them to spread the Gospel (Matthew 28:16-20). This meeting is traditionally viewed as the conclusion of Jesus' earthly ministry.
