Peter confims the Pauline doctrine as scripture and thus Pauls words pass that blessing onto Luke.
Peter and John knew Jesus, and confirmed Pauls vision on the road to Damscus.
Its seems as if Mark was a disciple of Peter (Jerome and Ireanius)
Mathew knew Jesus, if you subscribe to the early view as I do. A post AD 70-79 date without refrence to the destruction of Jerusalem is hard to buy.
