Take Eusebius' word for who wrote the gospels? The guy who made pious fraud a daily practice. Next you'll tell me Luke was Paul's doctor.
I encourage everyone interested in the foundations of christianity to read the 2nd century apologists to get an idea of how all over the place the religion was at the time. It took them 3 centuries to get their story straight. We're lucky they preserved writers like Irenaeus so we have an idea of how disorganized and combative early christian preachers were. You'd think if it was all based on one guy, sent from heaven, telling his followers the word of god, it would be cohesive from the start.
