Serious christian question. How did the Apostles (in the Gospels) remember word for

[BrookePitt]

word Jesus's prayers? I don't doubt the validity of the Gospels or the Bible. But as a Christan, yesterday I decided to do some reading on the Gospel of John. Now I know that the Gospels write word for word Jesus's teaching, paraboles, etc. But it came to my atention that for example the prayers in John 17, and many others in the Gospels are about a page in length. Yet, that Gospels having been written in 90 - 100 a.D (60 years or so after Christs's death) has his disciple quoting exactly word for word all the prayers. And I would guess if it's in the Bible it's 100% exactly as it was said. How could John 60 years later have remembered and wrote exactly every single word of the prayer without making a mistake?

Now I'm not trying to bash on anything or disprove the Bible or anything because I am a Christian. But I did want to know if anyone could help me with the answer.

I know the books are divinely inspired, could that possibly mean that at the moment John was writting it that the Holy Spirit revealed like in a whisper to John's ear word for word what he was to write down?

Thank you.
