Biblical scholars believe Matthew wrote his version of the Gospel sometime between 85 and 105 AD. Matthew's gospel is placed at the start of the New Testament not because it was first, (some of Paul's letters were written before this) but because it serves as a good bridge between the Old Testament and the New.
-----------------------The disciple Matthew did not write any books.The book now known as Matthew's Gospel was originally anonymous and was only attributed to the disciple whose name it now bears later in the second century, when the Church Fathers were attempting to establish who probably wrote each of the New Testament gospels. Scholars say that Matthew could not have been written by an eyewitness to the mission of Jesus, not least because it can be shown that the author copied approximately 600 verses from Mark's Gospel and copied substantial sayings material from the hypothetical 'Q' document. For convenience, the unknown author continues to be known as Matthew, but this is not the Matthew portrayed in the gospel.
Some debate about that one. Originally it was thought to be Matthew, modern scholars think that Mark was the oldest.
Actually, the visit of the Magi to the baby Jesus is not recorded in Luke's gospel but in the Gospel of Matthew. The story can be found in Matthew 2:1-12. Luke's gospel includes the nativity story, but it focuses more on the shepherds who visited Jesus after his birth.
Matthew has a book of his own, the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew.However, this gospel is believed to have been written by the disciple Matthew the ex-tax collector (or someone close to him).NOT by "Saint Matthew".
Matthew the Evangelist and tax collector was also called Levi and was the writer of the gospel of Matthew. The Gospel of Matthias is a lost text from the New Testament apocrypha. As you can see, they are two different persons.
No. Scholars have demonstrated that Mark's Gospel was written first, and that Matthew's Gospel was partly based on the contents of Mark's Gospel. Matthew's Gospel was originally written anonymously and only attributed to St Matthew later in the second century. However, scholars say that Matthew could not have been written by an eyewitness to the events it portrays.The disciple Matthew did not write any of the gospels.

A:No, the apostle Matthew did not write any of the New Testament gospels. The four gospels were originally anonymous and were only attributed to the apostles whose names they now bear, later in the second century. Thus we only have the opinions of the Church Fathers as to who any of the authors were. Seeing a literary dependency among the synoptic gospels, they believed that Matthew, the disciple of Jesus, wrote the first gospel and that the gospels they attributed to Mark and Luke were based on copying and improving Matthew's Gospel. In fact, scholars now say that none of the gospels could have been written by an eyewitness to the events they portray.Scholars can demonstrate that Mark's Gospel was actually the earliest gospel and that Matthew's Gospel was largely based on it, with some 90 per cent of the verses in Mark, as well as containing further sayings material from the hypothetical 'Q' document. Clearly, a disciple of Jesus would not have needed to base almost his entire gospel on these prior sources. Matthew did not write the Gospel of Matthew.
