You need to understand that Matthew is Levi a disciple of Jesus.

Also Jeus is reported to have told the disciples things in the Old Testament scriptures that spoke of Him.

The authors of the gospels lived decades after Jesus died.
FMF says its true, that's the extent of the evidence and its unworthy of serious
consideration, 'move along these are not the droids we are looking for.'

Matthew probably originated in a Jewish-Christian community in Roman Syria towards the end of the first century A.D. The anonymous author drew three main sources including the Gospel of Mark.
[According] to the majority view the author [of the Gospel of Mark] is unknown, the author's use of varied sources telling against the traditional account. The gospel was written in Greek shortly after the destruction of the Second Temple in AD 70, possibly in Syria.
According to most scholars Luke was written somewhere between 75 AD and 100 AD.
John was finally completed somewhere around 90-100 AD
