You can choose to accept their opinion if you like, but they are definitely not authoritative. Actually, nobody alive was there with Jesus, so nobody can "prove" what he said.
And that would include the gospel writers/editors. They were not there either.
However, they're far more authoritative than you are.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
