Another answer from our community:

The traditional authors assigned to the four gospels are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, as suggested by the names of these books. Mathew and John were two of the disciples of Jesus the Apostles. Mark is said to be the translator for Peter, so Mark's Gospel derives it's apostolic authority from Peter. Luke is the "beloved physician" mentioned by Paul, and so Luke's Gospel gets its authority from the Apostle Paul.

The traditional view is disputed scholars, of course. Those who disagree with the traditional view do not assign known authors to the Gospels, except perhaps for Luke.

Who wrote the infancy narratives in the gospels?

A:There are two infancy narratives in the New Testament, in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Since these gospels are traditionally attributed to the apostles Matthew and Luke, this would seem to tell us who wrote the infancy narratives. However, the gospels were originally anonymous and were only attributed by the Church Fathers to the apostles whose names they now bear later in the second century. Modern scholars say there is no good reason to accept those attributions and, in fact, neither gospels could have been written by an eyewitness to the life of Jesus or even someone who knew such an eyewitness. Thus, we do not know who wrote the gospels and we therefore do not know who really wrote the infancy narratives.

A:There is a non-canonical Gospel of Mary, attributed to Mary Magdalene. However, care should be taken in reading this attribution.
