{{efn-la|name="authorship"|Authorship:
* {{harvtxt|Ehrman|2004|p=58–59}}: "Proto-orthodox Christians of the second century, some decades after most of the New Testament books had been written, claimed that their favorite Gospels had been penned by two of Jesus' disciples&mdash;Matthew, the tax collector, and John, the beloved disciple&mdash;and by two friends of the apostles&mdash;Mark, the secretary of Peter, and Luke, the traveling companion of Paul. Scholars today, however, find it difficult to accept this tradition for several reasons.
* {{harvtxt|Watts Henderson|2018|p=1431}}: "Though the author’s identity is unknown, scholars find clues about its author in the Gospel itself. For example, its awkward style suggests that Greek was not the author’s first language. Other details, such as the imprecise citation of Jewish scripture (1.2), the over-generalized portrait of Jewish practice (7.3–4), and problematic geographical details (5.1,13) suggest that the evangelist was a Hellenized Jew who lived outside of Palestine.}}
