Nobody knows for sure when the gospels were written, but even the latest dating has the earliest of them being written around AD70, with all four being written by the end of the first century. Furthermore, in the case of people whose life spans we actually know about, sixty or seventy years seems to have been typical. Josephus was 63 when he died, Philo 75 and Tacitus 61.
