There are some events in the gospels that no one outside of Jesus witnessed, it is true, but these are pretty few and far between, and it's possibly that Jesus may have related them after his resurrection. Other than that, the writers may have simply interviewed people who were there - Mary or Joseph, for the story of the birth, for example.
