Summary

Matthew, Mark, and Luke were likely written in the 60s, when leading apostles were dying off just as the expanding gentile mission urgently needed reference matter on Jesus. Luke based his account on oral histories taken with care from many eyewitnesses over decades. Most of his gospel was planned or in first draft around AD 60 before he incorporated parts of a source akin to Mark.
