Where does the Bible say that the Gospels were transcribed directly from God?

Matthew
Chapter 1
1
1 2 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2
Abraham became the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.
3
Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar. Perez became the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram,
4
Ram the father of Amminadab. Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the father of Salmon,
5
Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab. Boaz became the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse,
6
Jesse the father of David the king. David became the father of Solomon, whose mother had been the wife of Uriah.

Mark
Chapter 1
1
1 2 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ (the Son of God).
2
As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: 3 “Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way.
3
A voice of one crying out in the desert: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.’”
4
John (the) Baptist appeared in the desert proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

Luke
Chapter 1
1
1 Since many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the events that have been fulfilled among us,
2
just as those who were eyewitnesses from the beginning and ministers of the word have handed them down to us,
3
I too have decided, after investigating everything accurately anew, to write it down in an orderly sequence for you, most excellent Theophilus,
4
so that you may realize the certainty of the teachings you have received.

John
Chapter 1
1
1 2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2
He was in the beginning with God.

Nothing here about being commanded to write anything down directly from God. Read Luke: I too have decided, after investigating everything accurately anew, to write it down in an orderly sequence for you.

Luke DECIDED after INVESTIGATING to write things down. The fantasy of Biblical transcription of God is refuted in the Bible.

Let's go even a step further. Had God decided to "trancribe" the Gospel, simple logic would dictate that there would only be ONE and it would have contained everything without any ambiguity.

I didn't (yet) say that it was. But you didn't answer my question:

Which books contain neither prophecy, nor revelation of prophecy, nor direct instruction from God Almighty, as written down by His declared agents, with the direct intention of preserving those words for posterity?
