In this answer I explained, years ago, how there was not only no historical evidence for the Gospel stories, but how the historical record contradicts the Gospel stories. In particular, I pointed out that Luke dates the Nativity to the census of Quirinius, which took place long after Herod's death.

Which Gospel writer is thought to have been Peter's translator?
A:Conservative Christians regard Mark as the translator who took Peter's experiences and wrote them down in the Gospel that now bears his name, but this is not the scholarly view. The conservative view arose because Mark is mentioned in the pseudonymous epistle, 1 Peter (5:13) as Peter's son, and Papias said that he was also the 'interpreter' for Peter. However, both are second-century sources and rely on Mark having actually been the author of the gospel that now bears his name.The New Testament gospels were originally anonymous and it was not until later in the second century that the Church Fathers thought to attribute authors, by which time any evidence as to who the authors were was long lost. The tradition that Mark was the author of the gospel that now bears his name arose around 130 CE, when Papias supposed that he was probably the author. Studies of this gospel have identified probable sources for some of the material in the gospel, good evidence that whatever the various sources were, they were not the words of Peter. So, although it is possible that Mark may have worked with Peter, he was not the writer of a gospel

No, the Gospel of Luke is not written from Mary's perspective.

Is there any proof outside the Bible for the historicity of John of the Gospel?
There is no extra-biblical proof of the historicity of the disciple John. Scholars say that the Gospel According to St John was not attributed to the disciple John until the middle of the second century. Their reasoning was that while the Gospel never mentioned John, it did mention a "disciple whom Jesus loved", a figure of speech they felt to be explained by the extreme modesty of the author, who must therefore be John. John the Baptist is mentioned outside the Bible, by Josephus. This John is likely to have been a real person, but it is also possible that Josephus only learnt of him from Christian sources.

What evidence for the resurrection does John present?
The evidence that John presents for the resurrection of Jesus somewhat contradicts the evidence of the other gospels, but is closest to Luke, the synoptic gospel that John's Gospel most closely resembles.In John's Gospel, the risen Jesus appeared to the disciples in the upper room and showed them his wounds, but Thomas was not present. Eight days later, Jesus again appeared to the disciples, this time with Thomas present, and offered to let Thomas touch his wounds. These appearances, and the later appearance at the Sea of Galilee, are provided as evidence of the resurrection, and the wounds are the evidence that this really was Jesus, in the flesh.
Is there any proof outside the Bible for the historicity of Mark?
There is no extra-biblical proof of the historicity of the disciple. Moreover, the Gospel known to us as the Gospel According to St Mark or St Mark's Gospel does not identify its author, and it was not until the second century that it was finally attributed by the Church Fathers to the Apostle Mark, thus giving this previously anonymous Gospel the name "Gospel According to St Mark". However, there is no real evidence to support that opinion, and considerable evidence to the contrary. The decision of the Church Fathers to attribute the Gospel to the apostle Mark was an admirable, but not necessarily correct one.
Is there evidence outside the Bible that proves Matthew was a historical person?
In the early first century, Matthew was never mentioned by anyone outside the gospels, and the gospel that bears his name was written anonymously and only attributed to Matthew later in the second century.
