the gospels of matthew and luke both contain the Infancy narratives
If the authors of the Infancy Narratives in Matthew and Luke were not inspired by God, it is hard to know how they had such detailed knowledge that they disclose in their narratives nearly a century after the birth of Jesus.On the other hand, if they really were inspired by God, we could expect that both Infancy Narratives would be in substantial agreement as to the facts. Yet it would be hard to imagine two accounts that could differ so dramatically in describing the same event. Either:Nazareth was the home of Joseph and Mary, or Bethlehem was;Either the young family fled from Bethlehem to Egypt after the birth of Jesus, or they travelled peacefully to Jerusalem only a few weeks after the birth, then returned home to Nazareth;Either Joseph and Mary were returning home from Egypt to Bethlehem after the death of Herod but, being warned in a dream , turned aside and travelled to Nazareth instead, or they went immediately to Nazareth just a few weeks after the birth of Jesus;Either the angel told Joseph that the virgin Mary was to have a baby, or he told Mary - the two accounts can not both have been true;Either the father of Joseph was called Heli, or he was called Jacob.This analysis tells us that the evangelists were writing midrash and were not inspired by God.

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.
After the infancy narratives in the New Testament, the Gospels typically move into the public ministry of Jesus, where he begins his teachings, miracles, and interactions with various individuals and groups. This period is significant in revealing Jesus' mission and message to the world.
