Most modern scholars think that none of the gospels were written by eyewitnesses.
It’s a little bit academic (har har) anyway, since they all went through so many layers of translation often by people with specific agendas that the modern English versions can’t really claim to be “authentic” to the originals anyway, but regardless of that they almost certainly weren’t written by those specific disciples of Jesus (even if you accept the events described in them as semi-authentic.)
