    Except that isn’t what happened. Mark built Jesus out of the letters of Paul and various pagan-jewish works. Matthew copied Mark but really liked the Pentauch. Luke copied Matthew and tried to shore up the apostles. John took all three and some local Messiah stories.

    None of these people were eyewitnesses, none of these people even talked to eyewitnesses. A copy of a copy of a copy with no original.
