Best Answer
A:The New Testament gospels are attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, although those attributions were only made during the course of the second century.

The New Testament gospels were originally anonymous, so we do not really know who wrote them. In particular, New Testament scholars say none of the gospels could have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed.

Most of the gospels that are not found in the New Testament werealso attributed to various of the disciples and apostles, but it is most unlikely that any of these attributions is true.

We do not know who wrote any of the gospels.

Who is the only author who wrote both a Gospel and epistles?

We do not know the name of the author of the gospel now known as John's Gospel, since it was written anonymously and only attributed to the disciple John later in the second century. some believe the author of John's Gospel was also the author of the Epistle of John; certainly the Epistle of John came out of the same community as John's Gospel. If so, this author wrote both a gospel and an epistle in the New Testament.

Who were relatives of John the gospel author?

A:The author of the gospel now known as John's Gospel is not actually known. The Gospel was originally anonymous and was only attributed to John, son of Zebedee, later in the second century. However, biblical scholars say that the author could not really have been an eyewitness to the events portrayed in the Gospel, in which case the attribution to John must be erroneous. If John had really been the author of the gospel that now bears his name, then his father would have been Zebedee and his brother would have been James.

Who wrote Saint Matthew's Gospel?

The Gospel known to us as the Gospel According to St Matthew does not identify its author. For many decades after it was written, probably in the 80s CE, it was not attributed to any specific author. In the middle of the second century, it was felt that the author must have been one of the disciples, because of his apparently intimate knowledge of the life of Jesus. The disciple called Matthew was decided on as the most likely author because, as a tax collector, he would have been well educated.However, we now know that the author of this Gospel copied most of his information about the life of Jesus from Mark's Gospel. The author did not have any first hand knowledge of the life of Jesus and therefore the author could not have been the disciple called Matthew. We are back in the position where we do not know the name of the author.What we can say is that the author of Matthew's Gospel was literate in the Greek language and very familiar with the (Septuagint) Greek version of the Hebrew Bible. His native language may have been Greek, but this is not certain.
