The Gospel of Matthew was writen by Mathew son of Alphaeus.
The Gospel of Mark was writen by Mark who wrote down the narrative given by the Apostle Simon, called Peter.
The Gospel of Luke was writen by Luke, who wrote down the narrative given by the Apostle Paul, who was formerly called Saul.
The Gospel of John was writen by the Apostle John, son of Zebedee.
Apostle Paul wrote the pauline Epistles.
The general Epistles were writen by James (brother of Jesus), Peter, John, and Jude (also Jesus' brother).
John wrote Revelation.

Paul was not an apostle and came some years after. He had no first hand knowledge of Christ.
There is no agreement on who wrote revelations or when.
There is some question on who authored Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and when.
It is not as cut and dried as you are stating.
