They don't have to. Church tradition says Matthew wrote Matthew.
Church tradition? So the church made a bunch of stuff up based on no evidence, and that's sufficient to believe it? They just... say so, based on nothing, and that's it?

The fact that there's no evidence to suggest it in the first place is reason to suggest otherwise.
Quote:Why do you think Paul didn't write in 1 Cor. 15, Gal. 1 & 2 that he spent 15 days with Peter and spent time with James and John and shared the same eyewitness testimony of seeing Jesus resurrected?
Because I have no evidence that Jesus even existed beyond a series of claims made by biased parties with a vested interest in propagating the claim that he did.
