It is popularly supposed that the authors of the Gospels were the Aposilos whose reapec- tive uames thoy boar, but the writinga thewm- eolves make no much clsim, The title of each reads “Tho Gospel acoording to," not by, Mat- thow, Mark, Luke, orJohn, It is beliavod by many Dlblical schclars that the Aposties and their disciples ocoupled themsslven solely with proacking, and, in the faith that the end of tla world was near at hand, did not deem it neces. sary to wiite out the worda and worka of. Christ snd tho experisnces of the eatly Christians of which they had personal knowledze. 1t ia sald, indoed, that Matthew jotted downin Byriao somo fragmeuts of the discoursos of his Divino Master, naming his manuscnipts ** The Hayings of Jesus,” but no copy of his writing has been presorved to us. It is also said by the “Fathera” of the early Church thst the pos- tles Jointly wrote ' The Mewmoirs of Josus," at Jerusalom, = little time beforo their dus. persion, but, “enpfluf the quotations which tho * Fatbors” thomsclves made from 1t, no trace of the compositio n bas been found.
