As I said above — from the people who knew Jesus....and then the people who knew those who knew Jesus. And so it continued because there was no written word until 50 AD.

To the contrary, there were written words of God on earth in Hebrew for thousands of years.

Jesus said all three times in response to Satan's temptations "it is written."

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. - Psalms 12:6-7

To God be the glory, not man, never man.

You are giving Christ the glory, aren’t you? In addition to the Old Testament writers?
