We have shown that Matthew the Evangelist was not Matthew the Apostle.
Here' another gospel writer was not an Apostle
'"John Mark's Gospel, the earliest account of Jesus' life, may have been told to him by Peter when the two spent so much time together. It is widely accepted that Mark's Gospel was also a source for the Gospels of Matthew and Luke."
Mark's Gospel was probably the first. It omits any Ascension story which was added in the second century.
Maark wasn't an Apostle, was he?

Why does it matter whether or not a Gospel author was or was not an Apostle?

How can we "know" such things 2000 years later?
And who, by the way, are the "we" you mentioned?
