Ta’ spiss nisimgħu l-ipoteżi li l-Evanġelji inkitbu minn narraturi anonimi u kienu jiċċirkolaw b’mod anonimu sa madwar l-aħħar tat-tieni seklu, c.180WK.
Ta’ spiss jeħlu speċifikament Irenew u sħabu (li għexu f’dan iż-żmien), li vvintaw ismijiet partikolari.
L-iktar ħaġa li tikkuntradixxi din it-teorija huwa l-fatt li nsibu sorsi li jikkwotaw l-evanġelji bin-narraturi tagħhom żmien qabel is-sena 180WK!
Li kieku kien Irenew minn ġewwa Franza li vvinta l-ismijiet għal dawn l-allegatament evanġelji anonimi, kif kien jaf Papias minn ġewwa Hierapolis (Turkija) dwar dawn l-ismijiet madwar 70 sena qabel?
Kif kien jaf l-awtur tal-Muratorian Fragment madwar 30 sena qabel minn ġewwa Ruma?
Kif kien jaf Ptolemy minn ġewwa l-Eġittu?
Kif sar jaf daqshekk malajr Teofilu minn ġewwa s-Sirja?
U Tertullian minn ġewwa Kartaġni (Tuneżija)?
Mhemmx għalfejn insemmu li dawn ma kellhomx mezzi teknoloġiċi biex jaqsmu informazzjoni ma’ ħaddieħor f’tebqa t’għajn.

HIERAPOLIS (Turkija) – 𝐏𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬 (għex c60WK – 130AD) jikteb: “Mark, having become the interpreter of Peter, wrote down accurately… whatsoever he remembered of the things done or said by Christ.” “Matthew wrote the oracles in the Hebrew language, and every one interpreted them as he was able.”
RUMA – 𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (AD155-160): Din hija l-eqdem lista ta’ kotba Kristjani tat-Testment il-Ġdid. Il-parti tal-bidu hija nieqsa. Il-parti li fadal issemmi t-tielet Evanġelju – dak ta’ Luqa, u r-raba’ Evanġelju – dak ta’ Ġwanni, apparti oħrajn.
EĠITTU – 𝐏𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 (AD 140-160) – naqraw x’kiteb Ptolemy dwar l-evanġelju skond Ġwanni mill-kitbiet ta’ Irenew:
“.. John, the disciple of the Lord, wishing to set forth the origin of all things, so as to explain how the Father produced the whole, lays down a certain principle…And he expresses himself thus: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God; the same was in the beginning with God. John 1:1-2
HIERAPOLIS (Turkija) – 𝐀𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬 (AD165-175) isemmi lil Mattew b’mod li jtina x’nifhmu li l-qarrejja tiegħu jafu sew min hu:
“There are, then, some who through ignorance raise disputes about these things …and they quote Matthew as speaking in accordance with their view. Wherefore their opinion is contrary to the law, and the Gospels seem to be at variance with them”
SIRJA – 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐬 (c. AD 180) – “And hence the holy writings teach us, and all the spirit-bearing men, one of whom, John, says, ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God’…”
KARTAĠNI (Tuneżija) – 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 (c. AD 200) – “The same authority of the apostolic churches will afford evidence to the other Gospels also, which we possess equally through their means, and according to their usage—I mean the Gospels of John and Matthew—whilst that which Mark published may be affirmed to be Peter’s, whose interpreter Mark was. For even Luke’s form of the Gospel men usually ascribe to Paul.”
