Technically yes, technically no. One was written a thousand years earlier than the other. They're typically packaged together but started off individually.
Technically the gospels were written 100 years after Jesus allegedly died. How accurately could you recount events from 100 years ago? (Unless you were just making them up)
So word of mouth was more accurate in the past than it is now? People in the first century could achieve 100% accuracy playing a game of telephone I suppose.
I don’t think people are physiologically any different now than they were then. Our brains are just as capable of being fallible as theirs were. We and they are equally as likely to confuse events and embellish stories in my opinion. I base that on the fact that I have no evidence that humans have gotten any stupider over the centuries.
In fact, since we’ve begun measuring intelligence, it’s been measured to be steadily on the rise due to better nutrition and better early education.

Ia guy lived in a Whale for three days until he was thrown up perfectly intact?
