==Statement of the Augustinian Hypothesis==
[[Saint Augustine]] wrote: "Now, those four evangelists whose names have gained the most remarkable circulation over the whole world, and whose number has been fixed as four ... are believed to have written in the order which follows: first Matthew, then Mark, thirdly Luke, lastly John ... Of these four, it is true, only Matthew is reckoned to have written in the Hebrew language; the others in Greek... For Matthew is understood to have taken it in hand to construct the record of the incarnation of the Lord according to the royal lineage, and to give an account of most part of His deeds and words as they stood in relation to this present life of men. Mark follows him closely, and looks like his attendant and epitomizer. For in his narrative he gives nothing in concert with John apart from the others: by himself separately, he has little to record; in conjunction with Luke, as distinguished from the rest, he has still less; but in concord with Matthew, he has a very large number of passages. Much, too, he narrates in words almost numerically and identically the same as those used by Matthew, where the agreement is either with that evangelist alone, or with him in connection with the rest. On the other hand, Luke appears to have occupied himself rather with the priestly lineage and character of the Lord"<ref>(Harmony of the Gospels, BI,C2). https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/1602102.htm</ref> The Four Evangelists wrote in the traditional order but each with a unique focus.

Saint Jerome knew where the original Gospel of Saint Matthew, in the library of Caesarea, in the Hebrew dialect, was kept in his day. “The Hebrew itself has been preserved until the present day in the library at Cæsarea which Pamphilus so diligently gathered. I have also had the opportunity of having the volume described to me by the Nazarenes of Berœa, a city of Syria, who use it”. <ref>(De Viris Illustribus, 3, on Saint Matthew), https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/2708.htm</ref>.
