Some scholars today maintain the traditional claim that Luke the Evangelist, an associate of St. Paul who was probably not an eyewitness to Jesus' ministry, wrote the Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles.[1][66] Scholars are also divided on the traditional claim that Mark the Evangelist, an associate of St. Peter who may have been an eyewitness to Jesus' ministry, wrote the Gospel of Mark.[67] Scholars are more divided over the traditional claim that Matthew the Apostle wrote the Gospel of Matthew[68][69] and that John the Apostle wrote the Gospel of John.[70][71][72] Opinion, however, is widely divided on this issue and there is no widespread consensus.[73][74]
