Evidence for this? I suggest that Matthew is Matthew.

It has been conclusively (or so it seems to me) shown that there is no
literary relationship between the synoptics. Yes, they record the same events,
often, but the actual texts show, when analyzed, that they are not
_literarily_ dependant. That does not preclude, of course, witnessing the same
events and then writing them down, or taking notes or memorizing as the
disciples of rabbis often did.
