There are reports that Thomas also wrote a book.
In fact, at least 2 of the 4 gospels were not written by disciples in the first place.
Matthew and John were most likely written by the disciples of that name. Mark was most probably written by John Mark, a companion of Paul on his missionary journeys and possibly the young man who ran away naked at the arrest of Jesus. Luke never met Jesus but was commissioned to write a full and unbiased account by his sponsor Theophilus. Luke went on to write a second account of the early Church - the acts of the Apostles, also in the New Testament.
Paul was not one of the 12, but of course most of the letters in the new Testament are written by him, and predate all the gospel stories. However, Paul calls himself 'the least of the apostles' as he did meet the risen Christ on the Damascus Road which caused his conversion to Christanity.
Of the other disciples, Peter wrote two letters in the New Testament and it is believed that Luke used Peter a great deal in writing his own gospel. James also wrote a letter in the new testament, but there is confusion over which 'James' this is - James son of Alpheus, James the brother of John or James the brother of Jesus himself.
The only other writings by the disicples of Jesus are non-canonical works. This means that they were not accepted into scripture because their providence was rather suspect and could not be corroborated. As an example, fragments of the four gospels are known that date back to the end of the first century but the earliest non-canonical gospel fragments date back only to the third century at the earliest, and hence may have been later 'gospels' into which errors and heresies crept in.
Among these are the gospel of Thomas, the so-called gospel of Mary Magdalene, fragments of a gospel of Philip, and, of course, the much-hyped 'gospel' of Judas. These are not accepted as canonical as their providence is so poor.

Did Philip write a book of the Bible?
Philip is listed as one of the twelve disciples but as far as we know , none of the disciples wrote anything. The four New Testament gospels were originally anonymous and were not written by any of the disciples, in spite of second-century attributions. There is a non-canonical Gospel of Philip but it was, like the canonical gospels, originally anonymous; in any case it is generally believed to have been written after 150 CE. This means that not only did Philip not write a book of the Bible, he also probably did not even write a book outside the Bible.
Could Peter a Disciple of Christ read and write?
Yes, Acts 4:13 did not mean that Peter and John had no education; nor did the scripture mean that they were illiterate or unschooled. Regarding the word a‧gram′ma‧tos applied to them, Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1905, Vol. III, p. 757) says that to a Jew "it meant one who had had no training in the Rabbinic study of Scripture." (Compare John 7:14, 15)
When did the disciples experience the gift of the holy spirit?
The Holy Spirit came to the disciples on the Day of Pentecost. The Day of Pentecost was fifty days after Passover. Read Acts chapter 2.Specifically, at Acts 2:17+18, Peter brings out that this event was actually fulfillment of prophecy from Joel 2:28+29. "'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.'
Who were the evangelists and who did they write for?
The evangelists were four authors of the Gospels in the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They wrote their accounts of the life and teachings of Jesus to spread the message of Christianity and provide guidance to believers. Each evangelist wrote with a specific audience in mind, tailored to the needs and perspectives of their respective communities.
Why were the gospels written down?
Those who were eyewitnesses, or personally knew them, wanted to record the important events and details of the Christian message. They also wanted to assist those who were involved in spreading the Gospel message, that others might also believe, as well as to give an account of the details of Jesus' life and teaching to assist new converts to have a better understanding of the faith. The verses below explain this. 1Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, 2Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; 3It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, 4That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. 31But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Why did the other disciples of Jesus not write their gospel accounts of what Jesus did in their presence?
A:Over time, many of the disciples of Jesus were attributed gospels describing events associated with Jesus, either written anonymously or pseudepigraphically. The gospels that we know about included: Gospel of JamesThe Gospel of JohnGospel of JudasThe Gospel of LukeThe Gospel of MarkThe Gospel of MatthewThe Gospel of PeterThe Gospel of PhilipThe Gospel of ThomasIt is well established that none of the disciples actually wrote an eyewitness account, but many of the disciples were honoured with gospels in their names, including Matthew and John and several others.
Did eye witnesses write the four Gospels?
Matthew and John were written by eyewitnesses, Luke and Mark were written secondhand from disciples of Jesus.
How many disciples were used to write the Gospel stories of Jesus' life?
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.
Did Philip write a book of the Bible?
Philip is listed as one of the twelve disciples but as far as we know , none of the disciples wrote anything. The four New Testament gospels were originally anonymous and were not written by any of the disciples, in spite of second-century attributions. There is a non-canonical Gospel of Philip but it was, like the canonical gospels, originally anonymous; in any case it is generally believed to have been written after 150 CE. This means that not only did Philip not write a book of the Bible, he also probably did not even write a book outside the Bible.
What is meant by the term authority when applied to the Gospels?
it means that the gospel writers had authority when they were writing the gospels. that is because- all of the writers were linked to eyewitnesses of the events or one of the 12 disciples (Matthew and John were disciples, Mark was linked to Peter, Luke was linked to Paul)-they were written shortly after the even took place-they were inspired to write it by God! the Bible says that "all scripture is God-breathed" God told them what to write, so the text has authority
Did John and Matthew who were disciples also write the Gospels or were they different people?
A:They were different people. All the New Testament gospels were originally anonymous, and New Testament scholars say that none of the gospels could have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed. It was only later in the second century that the Church Fathers decided to attribute the gospels to the persons whose names they now bear.
Luke a Greek name but was he Jewish?
Luke the writer of the Gospel was actually a Greek-speaking Syrian. The original disciples were Jewish. They did not write the Gospels, although two of them (John and Matthew) shared names with men who would later write about the life of Jesus (writing in Greek).
Why does farting hurt?

What did the evangelists write?

Were Matthew and John eyewitnesses to the mission of Jesus?
A:According to the gospels, Matthew and John were disciples of Jesus and therefore eyewitnesses to his mission, but according to scholars they did not write the gospels that now bear their names. The New Testament 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. Thus we do not really know who wrote the gospels. Scholars say that none of the gospels could really have been written by eyewitnesses to the events they portray, which would certainly rule out authorship by Matthew and John. Moreover, scholars have demonstrated that Matthew's Gospel was based on Mark's Gospel, containing some 600 of the 666 verses in Mark, often using exactly the same words in the Greek language. Luke's Gospel was similarly based on Mark, and John's Gospel was loosely based on Luke, with some material taken direct from Mark. Since the disciples would never have had to rely on an outside source, this is further evidence that they did not write the gospels that now bear their names.
Did Christ write a book?
No he did not. The gospels were written by others about His ministry.
Did Judas Iscariot write anything and were his writings in the Bible?
A Gospel of Judas Iscariot appears to have been in use among the Cainites, an early Gnostic sect. The Gospel was also mentioned by Irenaeus. However, it should be remembered that all the gospels, even those now in the Bible, were not really written by the disciples to whom they were attributed - so Judas Iscariot did not really write anything. One branch of Christianity came to dominate and was the branch that selected the gospels that it would include in its Bible. With the possible exception of John's Gospel, it did not include any Gnostic gospels.
