The answer
The Holy Gospel did not come down already written, as some may believe, nor did Christ, to Him be glory, write it. The Gospel was written by means of holy men of God, i.e. the Disciples and Apostles of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who were inspired by God to write:
All scripture is given by inspiration of God...That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Tim. 3:16-17)
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. (2 Pet. 1:21)
Our Lord Jesus Christ came to instruct first by His Holy Person. This is why we call Him the “Son of Man,” meaning the Friend of Man Who searches for him in order to bestow upon him the gift of precious salvation.
