Peter and Paul, being prophets and apostles of the Lord, as the Holy Gospel of Luke testifies, we can also trust, for just as God was able to work miracles through them, He is also able to speak. John, likewise, proves his own trustworthiness by the Gospel he wrote, and his other writings also testify that he is one of God's prophets.

If Luke testifies to Peter and Paul, who testifies to Luke? Who told you that John is the author of the Gospel bearing his name, or Matthew, or Mark?

The Gospels are clearly the minimum core of inspired post-ressurection writings. They all agree with one another splendidly, and we know that there MUST be a body of scripture preserved by God, which reflects what Jesus did say, since, as God's premier prophet, God would not allow that core to perish, and would preserve it. So, to put it most simply, the other three Gospels testify to Luke, and their four-fold consistency proves that they are indeed the ones sent by God into our time which tell us of Jesus.

The aggreement of research, the early church fathers, the present church, and all times in between, show that it is appropriate to attribute the Gospels and other NT writings to the authors that they have always been attributed to.

Paul does in 1 Timothy , He quotes from the gospel of Luke

1Ti 5:18For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward.

Luk 10:7   And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

The greek word for reward is the same as hire
