When was the Gospel of Matthew really written?

The Roman legions surrounded the city and began to slowly squeeze the life out of the Jewish stronghold. By the year 70, the attackers had breached Jerusalem's outer walls and began a systematic ransacking of the city. The assault culminated in the burning and destruction of the Temple that served as the center of Judaism.

The Gospel According to Matthew (Greek: Τὸ κατὰ Ματθαῖον ε�αγγέλιον, translit. Tò katà Matthaīon euangélion; also called the Gospel of Matthew or simply, Matthew) is the first book of the New Testament and one of the three synoptic gospels. It tells how the Messiah, Jesus, rejected by Israel, finally sends the disciples to preach the gospel to the whole world.[1] Most scholars believe it was composed between AD 80 and 90, with a range of possibility between AD 70 to 110 (a pre-70 date remains a minority view).[2][3] The anonymous author was probably a male Jew,

The gospel we call Matthew's was written anonymously about 80 A.D. In approximately 135 A.D., Papias, an early and not too reliable a Church Father, named it Matthew's and the name stuck.

It claims that Jesus foresaw the destruction of the Temple, but since this gospel was written about 80 AD, or about 10 years after the event, it isn't a convincing prophecy fulfillment.

When compared with the other Gospels and history itself, Matthew's gospel contains a number of contradictions.

The big picture is history is basically not supported by evidence. History is composed of human accounts of testimonies. External and internal evidence are thus more about cross referencing writings. In the end, they are speculations.

That said. The gospel of Mark is usually considered to be the first gospel by today's scholars with "evidence" available today, not the evidence available in the first century. However you can always disagree as in the end this is just a speculation perhaps just a little bit better than wild guesses. You can always do your own speculation.

The gospel of Mark is basically Peter's account of testimony. It is a formal publication in Rome. It was made short possibly publication fee in Rome was high. This accounts why it appears to be the first gospel. It's rather the advantage of a formal publication which was kept and spread in a more clear way, especially in terms of available evidence.

This however by no means says that other accounts/gospels were written later. Matthew was supposed to write to the Jews as his main audience. The original manuscript could even possibly in Hebrew or Aramaic instead of Greek, and may be flowing in Palestine area where the Hebrew speaking Jews lived. Till later it was kept by early churches and in Greek.

RESPONSE: No. This isn't the same Mark who was said to have hung out with Peter. This Mark was a Syrian probably writing from there. One can tell by his errors.

Outside of the amusement factor, this claim is useless.

I ask you once again to address the fact that you made a false claim of victory. Shall I assume that your continued refusal to address it is your admission that you don't have the integrity to do so?

Wow. My "false" claim of victory really rubbed you the wrong way, didn't it?
