None of the gospels were written by the apostle they are named after (with the possible exception of Luke / Acts wich were originaly one book). The books of the bible written most closely to thife of Chirst are those written by Paul - the epistles, followed then - chronologically - Mark, Matthew, John, Luke. The word Gospel means good news. The books are titled “the good news according to...” and were written by followers of the particular disciples, often many years later.

There's no valid reason for supposing that the gospels were not written by the one they were named after.

The original of John’s Gospel, and perhaps Mark’s Gospel account told to him by Peter may be as soon as fifteen years after the Ascension. Most of the originals for the New Testament were completed within thiry years of the Ascension. The Revelation would have been written the furtherest from the Ascension. There is a fragment of John’s Gospel which shows someone wrote the portion copy on a piece of Egyptian mummification fabric and it is dated to within fifteen to thirty years of the Ascension ... that is a copy dated to that recent following the Ascension!

Many Biblical scholars would disagree with you.

There are many mysteries in the Bible, like ther real identity of St. John the Divine.
