Biography is something one writes about somebody else.
Autobiography is something one writes about oneself.
So, technically, Matthew is biographical, not autobiographical, even though it contains quotes. Matthew wrote what Jesus said, Jesus did not write Matthew.
Originally posted by @secondsonNope. I don't have any issue with the fact that I am not a Christian, nor - indeed - with the fact that you are one. You have simply misused the word "autobiographical". Jesus famously did not write a single word - that we know of - about himself.

This is what I wrote. "It's interesting that verse 29 of Matthew 11 is the only place in the synoptic gospels where Jesus makes a personal autobiographical description of Himself."
I did not say Jesus wrote it. I said, "Jesus makes a personal autobiographical description of Himself."
Matthew recorded what Jesus said. What Jesus said about Himself was autobiographical because it wasn't Matthew saying it about Jesus.

Jesus' description of Himself is autobiographical because it is He Himself giving the description of Himself, which Matthew recorded.

One cannot make a "biographical" comment because look at the word, it literally means "writing about [someone's] life".
Matthew wrote about Jesus, therefore it is "biographical". As far as I know, Jesus wrote nothing.

The Epistle to the Hebrews is perfectly written at the highest intellectual level, and yet its authorship is a complete mystery. Not even modern, sophisticated analysis of authorship can suggest a plausible writer for this great work. Whoever wrote this apparently wrote virtually nothing else. Scholars agree that Paul certainly did not write this.
It was written after the Passion of Christ, as made clear by its references in the past tense to Jesus's work, yet before the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.
In contrast with all other epistles and letters in the New Testament, it is misnomer to call this the "Epistle" to the Hebrews. It is not a letter; there is no introduction, and it reads like a sermon. Nor was it formally addressed to the "Hebrews"; its teachings are for all.
