I think it is reasonable to assume that Paul's writings were written in Greek. Luke's, John's, and Mark's should also be in Greek. Weren't they writing to Gentiles? I am not sure of this. It would make a lot of sense fot he writings to the diaspertia to be in Greek. After all, Hebrew had almost died as a spoken language before and Greek Jews (and ex-prostelytes) should have spoken Greek. Link Hudson
