How Gospel writers knew what Jesus said when alone — Garden of Gethsemane example

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 7) 00:23:00 – 00:24:00

Question from Meg Ward about eyewitness accounts for scenes where Jesus was alone

Mike addresses how Matthew and Luke could know what Jesus prayed in Gethsemane. His answer: Jesus was only a stone's throw from the three disciples (Peter, James, John), and Mike suggests Jesus prayed loudly enough to be heard. The arrangement (12 → 3 → Jesus alone) provides proximity for the disciples to hear the prayer.
