Tradition holds that Matthew and John the Gospel writers were the same Matthew and John who were Apostles. I know of no evidence either way, so maybe they were and maybe they weren't.

How would I know? I don't even believe there's any evidence of any of these people a) existing and b) being disciples of a Christ, Jesus H.

No authorities today suggest that they were. Not even church ones.

Plenty of literalists/fundies who do tho. Not what we might call authorities maybe, but certainly not insignificant socially.

Indeed, the argument that they were different persons is a good one. Mark was the earliest written account, and yet he was not one of the 12 Apostles. Most reputable scholars estimate that Mark's Gospel was written between AD 65 and AD 75. So several decades after Jesus' death. So this is stretching time for the others to have sight of Mark's Gospel, or a possible common source (the hypothesised "Q"). But not necessarily beyond the realms of the possible. Like I say, there's no evidence either way. I don't personally happen to believe they are the same Matthew and John, but only on balance.

Is that right, maybe right, or sorry I don't actually know?

I've twice said that I don't actually know. First in post 181 and then in the one you quote.
There is no actual evidence that they were the Apostles of the same names. So, I can't say for certain. Neither can anyone say they were.

Where does your lot (I'm assuming there's a church) stand on the world going from nothingness to having humans running around in the space of one particularly busy week?
