Neither of them knew Jesus personally.
Mark was the scribe for Peter (the apostle of Jesus). It was dated 64-68 A.D. (about 30 years after the death of Christ). He wrote down the book from the first hand witness of Christ (Peter).
Luke was a physician and scribe. He was a friend of Paul. The book is dated 61-80 A.D. (about 30-50 years after the death of Christ). He used eye witness accounts for his info like (James the brother of Jesus and Peter). He was alive during the time of the original 12 disciples and gathered information through them.
Please read and research for yourself. Do not trust answers pertaining to your salvation to people who do not love or respect God and His son Jesus. All scripture is written by men instructed by the Holy Spirit. God's word is true and reigns forever!

Speculation is out there that Mark is John Mark whose mom rented the upper room to Jesus and the disciples for their last meal together. As far as we know Luke never saw nor met Jesus, same as his mentor Paul.
And Abdulaaziz above way overstates his case. The testimony of the earliest church fathers is unanimous in attributing Matthew to the disciple Matthew and John to the disciple John.
For example the first certain witness to Johannine theology among the Fathers of the Church is in Ignatius of Antioch, whose Letter to the Philippians is founded on John 3:8 and alludes to John 10:7-9 and 14:6. This would indicate that the Gospel was known in Antioch before Ignatius' death (probably 107). Polycarp of Smyrna (c 80 AD to 167 AD) quotes from the letters of John. As does Justin Martyr(c 100 AD to 165 AD). The earliest testimony to the author was that of Papias, preserved in fragmentary quotes in Eusebius's history of the Church. This text is consequently rather obscure. Eusebius says that two different Johns must be distinguished, John the Apostle, and John the Presbyter, with the Gospel assigned to the Apostle and the Book of Revelation to the presbyter. Irenaeus's witness based on Papias represents the tradition in Ephesus, where John the Apostle is reputed to have lived. Irenaeus was a disciple of Polycarp, thus in the second generation after the apostle. He states unequivocally that the apostle is the author of the Gospel.
Neither of these gospels has the author's name in the text, but we have no good alternative to early tradition.

Mark and Luke were Jesus' disciples , and wrote of his works, Luke states at the beginning that he investigated all things that had been told to him, so it seems he was not an eyewitness to the works of our Lord but that he felt compelled to write what he found in his investigation in chronological order for another disciple of the early church of Christians named Theophilus. I do believe that Mark may have witnessed Jesus' works although it is not written or translated whether he was, but he definitly was a disciple.

They were diciples. Yes, they knew him personally. The Book of Mark talks about Jesus being baptized, Jesus being tempted, and curing the sick. The Book of Luke is about Jesus's prophecy, The parable of the supper, forgiveness, and his crucifixion.

none of the gospel writters ever met jesus. christian scholars say the earliest gospel was written about 70 years after jesus. the latest (johns) was written bout 120 years after jesus. the rest of new testament is mostly made up of pauls letters who also never met jesus. this has contributed to christians going astray and worshiping jesus, instead of God
unfortunately most christians are very ignorant and actually think that the gospel writters are the disciples, due to the fact that some of them share the same name. however they are not, and this is not disputed by christian scholars. if you think i am lying ask your priest, im sure you will be suprised.

I don't recall Mark ever being mentioned, but Luke was a moisture farmer on his uncles property on Tatooine.
He got to know his father really well, but I don't know if Jesus ever visited the Dagobah system.
