Re: Italian judge demands proof of Jesus' existence
Most scholars do believe now that both Matthew and Luke were based upon Mark and a later lost gospel named Q (short for the German word Quelle, which means source), so it could be that Gamaliel is based upon Q.
Btw the names of the writers of the gospels have been added so much later, that noone really still believes that the actual apostel Matthew was the writer of Matthew, just as it is very doubtful that any of the others gospels were written by the names that are now synonymous for these gospels.
