→First Deduction
'''Conclusion:''' Therefore, St. Matthew wrote the First Gospel between the years 42-67 A.D.
'''Conclusion:''' Therefore, St. Matthew wrote the First Gospel between the years 42-67 A.D.
==Saint Matthew wrote before Saint Luke==
The Gospel of Saint Luke can be dated in two ways (1) The Gospel of St. Luke clearly pre-dates the Acts of the Apostles (as the preface to Acts shows, it is the second letter to Theophilus) and (2) The Gospel of St. Luke was already widely distributed in the Churches when 2 Corinthians was written.
The secularist Encyclopedia Brittanica admits: “The Second Letter of Paul to the Corinthians (II Corinthians in the New Testament) was written from Macedonia in about 55 CE[sic]”.
It can well be concluded, therefore, that the Gospel of St. Luke was not only written but even widely distributed already by this time.
==Second Deduction==
'''Major:''' St. Matthew the Apostle wrote before St. Luke the Evangelist, the disciple of St. Paul.
'''Minor:''' But St. Luke wrote Acts before 61 A.D. and the Gospel of St. Luke before 55 A.D.
'''Conclusion:''' Therefore, St. Matthew wrote well before 61 A.D. and even 55 A.D. as well.
