Those who written were eye witnesses.When it is written is immaterial, if what is written is accurate.

Hi elshaddail123, Thanks for commenting, but I doubt that those who wrote the gospels were eye witnesses,also people rarely remember things correctly after many years. My only thought is that we can't take everything literarily. The Sermon on The Mount contain the best teachings that I've ever heard off.

I think that confirms the fact that we can't take everything in the bible litteraly.

I was reading about how they preserved knowledge in those days, and it was mostly oral. One had to make the papyrus or tan the skins to make parchment and for ink, well it was hard to catch an octopus or burn enough sticks to make charcoal. So people had to wait until there was enough to write anything down. So, unlike today when you have to get told things time and time again, the people developed their memories and they memorized word for word because they had to. And would not have Matthew, Luke, and John written down on papyrus or parchment notepaper and finally assembled the Gospels when they were ready for publications.
