If the Gospel writers were liars, wouldn't they have made their stories agree to the letter?
If they worked independently, getting different information from different people, than yeah, inconsistencies would abound, because their sources would remember or forget certain details.
This is not an end-all argument for the veracity of the Gospels, but the fact is that if they were lying, there would have only been one person or group with a single Jesus narrative and inconsistencies would be non-existent.
