Why not. But the more likely story s that the Gospel of Matthew was written late in the 1st century by Jewish convert to Christianity living in Antioch. Nothing in the Gospel itself requires that we identify the author with the Disciple Matthew.Why wouldn't Matthew have written Matthew (or dictated to someone)...he was a Disciple of Jesus, among the 12???
Luke was a careful historian within the limits of his time--even secular historians today agree. But "witness to eyewitnesses' cannot be substantiated by the usual standards of historiography.And, I said Luke was a 'witness to eyewitnesses.'
