Actually, they were not.
The latest scholarship is pretty conclusive that they were written by unknown authors, none of which were eyewitnesses.
The earliest Gospel, Mark was written no earlier than 40 years (but more likely, 70 years) after the alleged death of Jesus.
Yup.
It's about as eye witness as me, being 29 and not knowing anyone who was there, telling the story of what happened at Pearl Harbour during the Japanese attack.
