Detailed explanation-1: -While the periods to which the gospels are usually dated suggest otherwise, convention traditionally holds that the authors were two of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, John and Matthew, as well as two “apostolic men, ‘’ Mark and Luke, whom Orthodox Tradition records as members of the 70 Apostles (Luke 10):
Detailed explanation-2: -The four canonical gospels-Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John-were all composed within the Roman Empire between 70 and 110 CE (± five to ten years) as biographies of Jesus of Nazareth, written about a generation after the crucifixion of Jesus (ca. 30 CE).
Detailed explanation-3: -The Rest of the New Testament After the four Gospels, the book of Acts records the events following the Ascension of the Savior. Most scholars agree that Luke wrote the Acts of the Apostles.
Detailed explanation-4: -Written over the course of almost a century after Jesus’ death, the four gospels of the New Testament, though they tell the same story, reflect very different ideas and concerns. The first attempt to tell the story of the life and the death of Jesus, this narrative began the gospel tradition.
Detailed explanation-5: -As Jesus begins his ministry he calls his first disciples–Simon, Andrew, James, and John–to follow him and “fish for people.” Simon and Andrew leave the mending of their nets. James and John leave their father, and all four begin to follow Jesus.
