**So, we have hard proof that the Gospel of Matthew was penned not "hundreds of years" after Our Lord's Resurrection, but earlier than the year 41.**
Very true.
And we know that Luke traveled with Paul (Acts of the Apostles -- so he got some of his knowledge from Paul, but may have also known Jesus personally. Remember Paul was persecuting the followers of Christ.

Remember Paul never knew Jesus personally, but Jesus said "Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet believe". So why should believe that Luke knew him? Paul was not chosen originally as an apostle, but later. I think Paul wrote lots of things.
