Yes, brother. I read the book of a new discovery backed by electron microscope technology from a papirologist claiming that the gospel of Matthew might has been written as early as 50 AD which was merely 17 years after the crucifiction.Possibly earlier than that. Think of how long it would take to evangelize Jerusalem and Judea. Now the only way to reach the Jews in the Diaspora is to write a Gospel. Most likely Matthew was written first, being written to the Jews, and tradition has it in the Hebrew (or Aramaic?) tongue and Paul quoted from a portion of it in his letter to the Thessalonians (if I remember correctly) and that was written in 52 AD.
