The latter.

I would think the ideal that the respective Gospels were written by 1st century fishermen is amazing, but yet it's claimed by many without really thinking about it's probability. That would be at least a miracle worth mentioning by them when they supposively wrote them, and authorship wouldn't be so troubling.
