Here is a chart on the synoptic problems showing dependency of Luke and Matthew on Mark. Why would eyewitnesses copy from one another?
Luke admits he is not an eyewitness and says he got his information second hand.
The gospel of John is just so much made up propaganda it has no credibility whatsoever.

Dilhunty is good at debating (good at arguing his viewpoint) but that’s about it, his debates don’t amount to much more than arguments

God is the author of the entire Bible. He did use humans to record His words.
