Probably because the events as narrated in the gospels are fiction or much exaggerated.
Which is also why the authors of Matthew and Luke felt the need to plagiarize from Mark's account, who himself makes errors of geography that no first century Palestinian would have made, which indicates that the author of Mark's Gospel was not from the area.
