Paul was a contemporary of the writers, my dear. Notice in Acts 8 that Saul was a witness to the stoning of Stephen? That is the Apostle Paul. Also note in I Peter 5:1 that Peter says that himself is an elder? Now note in II Peter 3:15-16, that Peter knows Paul as a contemporary...and that Peter thinks that Paul's letter are scripture. These men knew that they were making scripture, and Paul was a trained rabbi..a teacher.
Luke was Paul's physician, and they traveled together, therefore Paul would have known about Luke's writing as a side activity of Luke. If the book of Luke were indeed a letter to a friend, then Paul would not have read it because it would have been bad manners to read another's correspondence, right? Just like Paul's letters were preserved, so were the writings of the other Apostles, thus becoming the Gospels as we know them today.
At the time these men wrote these accounts, they considered them "temporary" because Jesus was returning...as they knew, see Luke 24:49-53...so they did not consider the gospels as permanent scriptures, just accounts of the Messiah until He returned which could have been at any moment.
Paul could not have quoted the Gospels simply because they were being written even as he was writing himself. What a wonderful God we serve! So he quoted the only scripture he had..the Old Testament.

What words of Jesus did Paul quote that are not in the Gospels?
Acts of the Apostles tels how Paul was blinded by a light, fell down and heard the voice of Jesus saying, "It hurts you to kick against the goad [or 'pricks']" (Acts 25:14). This is also a quotation from the ancient play known as Bacchae by Euripides (d. 406 BCE). The scene has parallels to the play and peculiarly has Jesus quote a Greek proverb to Paul while speaking Aramaic ("in the Hebrew language"). Paul was then taken, blind and helpless to Damascus, where he was taught the gospel.Paul himself never mentions this episode, and says that after his conversion, he went straight to Arabia.

Which gospel was written by a disciple of Paul?
A:All the New Testament gospels were written anonymously, so we do not really know who wrote any of them. It was only in the second century that Papias and other of the Church Fathers decided to attribute the gospels to those they felt most likely to have written them. They decided to attribute the second gospel to Mark, a disciple of Paul, and the third gospel to Luke, the physician and companion of Paul. However, modern scholars say there is no good reason to accept these attributions as fact. It is most probable that none of Paul's acquaintances even knew any of the New Testament gospels.

What is the complete quote with Robert Deniro These Shoes?
It isn't actually a quote from a specific film. Paul Rudd just does an impersonation in a Robert Deniro style. (Since the Paul Rudd quote is from Knocked Up, I'm pretty sure that it was as if Robert Deniro got baby sick on his shoes).
