Yes. Though they do not name themselves, a close read of each Gospel holds enough clues to fully suggest they wrote each of their works as modern scholars who comprise the New King James Study Bible, etals, agree. Hence this basic assumption has been consistent since the early centuries A.D..
The New Testament gospels were all written anonymously. During the second century, the Church Fathers attributed each of the gospels to the apostle they thought most likely to have written each, attributing to the disciples Matthew and John the gospels that now bear their names. However, biblical scholars say that the gospels could not have been written by eyewitnesses to the events portrayed.
We do not know who the authors really were, but it seems unlikely that any of Jesus' apostles would need to copy material from Mark's Gospel, as we now know they did.
The Gospel that now bears the name of Matthew was originally anonymous but was attributed to him later in the second century, when the Church Fathers were trying to decide who, in their opinions, probably wrote each of the gospels. However, it is now well established that the author of Matthew's Gospel could not have been one of the original disciples.
We now know that Matthew's Gospel is substantially based on Mark's Gospel, copying some 600 of Mark's 666 verses, with further sayings material taken from a hypothetical source known as the 'Q' document. A disciple of Jesus would not have needed to rely so heavily on other sources for his narrative.
Matthew and Mark are the only 2 Apostles of Gospels.
No; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were individuals writers of the four Gospels.
They were Matthew and John.
A second-century tradition is that the authors of Matthew and John were disciples of Jesus, and that the authors of Mark and Luke were other apostles.However, these attributions are unlikely to be correct. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that it is doubted by most scholars that any of the gospels was written by an eyewitness of the public ministry of Jesus. Ian Wilson (Jesus: The Evidence) says that it can come as quite a shock to discover that no-one can even be sure who wrote the gospels. He says that despite the versions printed in our Bibles long having borne the names Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, these names are mere attributions, and even as such are rather less reliable than attributions given to unsigned works of art. We do not really know who wrote any of the gospels, but it is unlikely that any of the writers was an apostle.
If you mean the Bible, they are the first three gospels: Ss Matthew, Mark and Luke.
Saint John (he wrote the gospel of john in the bible) is the evangelist who was not part of the synoptic writers. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke were known as the synoptic writers because they had many of the same stories in their gospels.
the 4 who DID are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
They are the first 4 books of the New Testament named after the 'presumed' writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in order.
The wording of your question is somewhat confusing. Perhaps this answer will suffice: Matthew and John were among Jesus' original "chosen twelve," so, of the gospel writers, they would have been the first to evangelize when Jesus sent the disciples out under the "limited commission" (see Matthew chapter 10, beginning with verse 5). However, none of the gospels were written in Hebrew. The original language of all the gospels is Greek.
The word "Gospel" means a proclamation preached by Jesus Christ. The 4 gospel writers are the 4 Apostles of Christ who recorded these preachings for us in the Bible. They are gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are placed at the beginning of the New Testament and make up about half its total text.
-----------------------There were many gospels written, and four of these were selected for inclusion in the New Testament - the gospels now known as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These gospels were originally written anonymously and only attributed by the Church Fathers to the apostles whose names they now bear, later in the second century. However, scholars say that there is no good reason to believe that these gospels were really written by the apostles, and in fact they could not have been written by eyewitnesses to the events they portray. The gospels were written in completely different styles and contain some passages that define very different theologies, so they were certainly written by separate authors.So: the four gospels of the Bible had four different authors, but we do not actually know who they were.
The writers of the New Testament are called evangelists because they wrote the four Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - which are accounts of the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The term "evangelist" comes from the Greek word "euangelistes," which means "bringer of good news," highlighting their role in spreading the message of Jesus.
