Except Matthew, (Direct eye witness) the works of John, (which BTW I did notice you failed to address or dismiss him of your own work) The writing of Luke (as they were gather from all of the remaining eye witnesses) and the Work of Mark as it was the record of Peter.
If in another Historical settings these three accounts would be air tight, but because they are of something you personally want to dismiss you will find fault. Which is apart of the plan. Because Christ told his disciples to only teach those who wanted to be taught you will not find evidence to force your thought here. Why? because Christ only offers choice and not a mandate. So subsequently the whole of biblical Christianity must reflects choice and not Mandates.
