The attributions to Matthew, Mark, Luke and Johnmean that Matthew and John were then considered to be witten by Jesus' disciples, while Mark and Luke were not.
Modern New Testament scholars say that there is no good reason to accept the traditional attributions, and that none of the gospels could have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed. On this evidence, all the New Testament gospels were written by people who were not disciples.

Yes, most of the disciples deserted Jesus at the time of His arrest. The gospel of Matthew tells us this in chapter 26 verse 34 that "all the disciples deserted Jesus and fled". The Gospel pf Matthew was written by Matthew one of the twelve disciples, so as one who fled it appeared to him that all the disciples had deserted Jesus and fled. All four gospels tell us that the traitorous disciple, Judas, went and hung himself after betraying Jesus. But of the remaining 11 disciples the gospel of John tells us in chapter 18 verse 15 that the two disciples John and Peter followed Jesus and the solders to the High Priest's house and entered the courtyard there because John knew the High Priest, and that in John chapter 19 verse John was at the crucifixion and given care of Jesus' mother. So nine of the twelve disciples fled, one followed but fled in disgrace [Peter], one followed and was at the crucifixion [John ], and one hung himself [Judas]

The four gospels in the New Testament of the Bible were written by different authors. The Gospel of Matthew was written by Matthew, a disciple of Jesus.

How can we follow Jesus example?
By reading about what he said and did in the gospels. Also read about those who were his followers, who carried on His work after He left earth. Keep in mind that no one in The Bible (except for Jesus) was perfect, and that shows that, like his disciples, we should try to emulate Jesus, but we can never be as "good" as Him.
Did Jesus' Disciples write the Bible?
Not all of it.(or any of it)The Old Testament (from the books of Genesis to Malachi) was written long before the time of Jesus, by many different people, but like the New Testament, was inspired by God.The New Testament can be divided into three sections:1. The 4 accounts of Jesus' life (the 'Gospels') and the story of the early ChurchTwo of these were written by Matthew and John, two of Jesus' disciples. A third was written by Mark - probably one of an 'outer circle' of disciples (the '72') but not one of the closest 12. The fourth account of Jesus' life, and also an account of the early church, were both written by Luke - who knew Peter, the disciples' leader, Mary the mother of Jesus, and Paul (see below).(Scholars believe that none of the disciples took part in writing any gospels in the new testament and The Epistles of James, Peter, John and Jude are clearly pseudonymous and were written by church leaders who had no personal acquaintance with Jesus or his disciples.)2. The LettersThese were mostly written by Paul letters of encouragement to the churches scattered across the Mediterranean area, and to individuals. Paul was a disciple of Jesus who was converted after he had a divine experience on a road to Damascus. He was not one of the original 12, but did a great deal to further the church and to evangelise to others. Some letters were written by others including Peter, John (the disciples), Jude (another disciple) and James (the brother of Jesus)3. The RevelationThe story of a vision of the end of the world and Jesus' return was written by John, the disciple whom Jesus loved most.(Scholars have concluded that john the disciple and john of patmos were two different people, so the book of revelation was not written by john the disciple.)So a lot of the new testament was written by the disciples - as eye witesses - but all of it, Christians believe, was inspired by God.
What does Jesus want disciples to know about the wine?
There is no suggestion in the gospels that any of the disciples ever knew about Jesus converting water into wine. In fact this story was entirely unknown until reported in John's Gospel, which was written anonymously around the end of the first century and which scholars say could not have been written by one of the disciples. In any case, there is no suggestion that any of the disciples was present at this private wedding. John's Gospel demonstrates that Jesus was able to perform any of the miracles previously attributed only to the pagan gods. This account shows that, just as Dionysis was reportedly able to turn water into wine, so was Jesus able to do the same.
What was the dominant characteristics of the twelve disciples?
The one gospel that clearly provides a characteristic common to the disciples as a whole is Mark's Gospel. In this, the twelve disciples are portrayed as lacking understanding, almost buffoons.The other gospels, particularly Luke, moved away from this critical portrait of the disciples.
