I don’t know. Any modern reporter would collect information from multiple sources. But we will never know how thoroughly they evaluated the reliability of those sources or whether they excluded things even they found too incredible. In my scenario, each of the accounts excluded details found in the others. That may have been intentional. Maybe not.Wait, so you also believe that the names of the Gospels don't correspond to the people that wrote them (I think you mentioned that before), but at the same time you do believe disciples of Jesus wrote them?
