Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Matthew's Gospel is believed to have been written around the 80s or 90s AD, and most scholars agree that one of his main sources was the Gospel of Mark. This is because there are many similarities between the two Gospels, with around 90% of Mark's content appearing in Matthew's Gospel. Additionally, Matthew expands on Mark's teachings, adding his own interpretations and teachings. There is no evidence that Matthew relied on oral traditions or his own observations of Jesus, and the existence of a Q source is a matter of debate among scholars.
