Gospel of Matthew... Who wrote it?
The Gospel of Matthew
Part One: Who is the author? Is it known that Matthew is the son of so-and-so or is the author unknown?
Part Two and Part Three: What are the sources of the author of the Gospel? Did he write by divine inspiration or did he collect previous writings and oral accounts?
Did he write his Gospel in Hebrew or Aramaic? Or did he quote from previous writers in one of the previous two languages and translate his writing into Greek?
Part One:
1 - Most likely, the Gospel of Matthew was written after 80 AD according to most sources.
2 - The author is unknown (unknown) according to the following sources:
A - Introduction to the Bible - The Jesuit translation. Image 1 (Since we do not know the name of the author accurately.....)
B - Encyclopedia Britannica - Image 2 with the translation below the image. (The author is unknown).
C - Modern Commentary on the Bible - Image 3 - A work whose author is unknown.
D - The Cultural Background of the Bible - Image 4 - (The issue of attributing the Gospel to a specific writer is still a matter of doubt and controversy)
E - The Study of the Gospel as Narrated by Matthew - Stephan Sherbinyeh - Image 5 - (The name of the Gospel was given in the middle of the second century "that is, about 70 years after the date of writing the Gospel" and... it can be said that they acknowledge the existence of a strong link between Matthew the Apostle and Matthew the Evangelist).
F - Bart Ehrman wrote in his book The New Testament - Chapter Nine - Image 6
Matthew: The Gospel of Matthew was written in Greek around 80-85 AD. Its author, who was believed to be the tax collector mentioned in Matthew 9: 9, left his identity unknown; he must have been a Greek-speaking Christian, perhaps from outside Palestine. Among his sources are Mark, Q, M. (This is what we will talk about - the sources of the Gospel of Matthew)

Why did you lie, poor Matthew?
In searching for any response to the theory of the four sources of the Gospels (Matthew and Luke).
I found a response from poor Matthew in his book, Interpretation of the Gospel of Matthew.
The response (a picture of his response is in the first comment) is that a papyrus called the Magdalene Papyrus was recently discovered, which contains the oldest copy of the Gospel of Matthew, dating back to the year 60 AD. According to his point of view, the Gospel of Matthew was before the Gospel of Mark and therefore was not copied from Mark.
I searched for the papyrus and the book mentioned by poor Matthew.
I found that
1- These fragments or scraps are the papyrus as in the picture.
2- These fragments are considered the oldest manuscript of the Bible and date back to the end of the second century AD (meaning that they are more than 100 years after the date mentioned by poor Matthew).
Thus, the theory of the four sources, that Matthew and Luke copied from Mark and from a source called Q, and Matthew copied from another source of his own, M, and Luke from a source of his own, L,
is still the prevailing theory.
And that they were transmitting...
They did not write by divine inspiration, but they transmitted narratives from oral sources and from written sources before them.
The Quaternary sources: Mark and QML

Part Two: (Part Three continues)
The questions are:
First: How can the writer write by inspiration while he quotes from sources?
Second: Where is the Hebrew version of the Gospel of Matthew --- it was lost...
We return to their usual question, can't God preserve His book?
A - First, it is not the words of God
B - Second, preservation is linked to God's will,
and the first thing you should have asked yourselves is: (Can't God forgive eating from the tree except by sacrifice? - Can't God protect children and prevent them from getting sick and dying as long as they have no sin and have not committed any mistake? - Was God unable to show you the Trinity in which you believe and send down a clear book in which the Trinity is understood and written? .... etc.)
Third: Who wrote the sources they quoted from? And did he write it by divine inspiration?
We leave you with the quotes:
1 - The modern interpretation of the New Testament - Image 1 - (Saint Matthew took the Gospel of Mark as one of his references) So where is the inspiration?
2 - Modern Interpretation of the New Testament - Image 2 - (Collected in Hebrew - or Aramaic) - Where is the revelation?
3 - Modern Interpretation of the New Testament - Image 3 - (Matthew and Luke used what Paul wrote - and the source Q) - Where is the revelation?
4 - The Gospel according to St. Matthew - Matthew's Poor Interpretation - Image 4 - (The Gospel was compiled in Hebrew or Aramaic) Where are the versions in these languages?
5 - The Gospel according to St. Matthew - Matthew's Poor Interpretation - Image 5 - (The Gospel in Hebrew or Aramaic was lost and the apparent Greek form became the existing one).
6 - The Gospel according to St. Matthew - Matthew's Poor Interpretation - Image 6 - (Matthew was only collecting the sayings and arranging them in Hebrew or Aramaic). Where is the revelation?
7 - New Testament Interpretation - William Tyndale - Image 7 - (The material in Matthew's Gospel and Luke's Gospel is taken from Mark's Gospel) Where is the revelation?

Part Three
8 - The New Testament Commentary - William Tyndale - Image 8 - (Matthew did more than collect and organize, he arranged the teachings) Where is the revelation?
9 - The cultural background of the Bible - Image 9 - (Matthew and Luke both wrote using Mark as a source.. How carefully did they follow their sources accurately) Where is the revelation?
10 - The cultural background of the Bible - Image 10 - (Matthew relied on the Gospel of Mark as a source.. and on another source) Where is the revelation?
11 - The Holy Bible - Jesuit Edition - Introduction to the Synoptic Gospels - Image 11 - (Illustration of the sources of Matthew and Luke, including the Gospel of Mark, but they wonder if it is the Gospel of Mark that we have or another version?)
12 - The Holy Bible - Jesuit Edition - Introduction to the Synoptic Gospels - Image 12 - (Did Matthew start from references that he shares with Mark or with Luke?)
13 - The Formation of the Gospels - Father Fadel Sidarus, Jesuit - Image 13 - (Modern studies show, according to the following diagram from the book Sources of the Gospels, that there was something called the Gospel of “Matthew” in Aramaic that was translated into the Greek Gospel of “Matthew” and the sources of the current “Matthew” are:
1- Greek “Matthew”.
2- Mark.
3- Other traditions.
4- Oral narratives!
14 - From Bart Ehrman’s book - Early Christian Writings - Chapter Eight - He speaks at great length about Sources theory, the entire chapter can be reviewed - and the conclusion is picture number 14. Which shows the sources of the Gospel of Matthew and the sources of the Gospel of Luke.
