In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.

The rule, the measuring stick of the New Testament is this: if a book is written by an apostle, or by an amanuensis of an apostle, it is canonical; it measures up. So all the books we have in the New Testament are written by an apostle or by the scribe, the amanuensis, the secretary of an apostle; such as Mark, the amanuensis of Peter, or Luke, the amanuensis of Paul.
