From the eminent first century Yahudite (sn-Jew) historian, priest, and scholar Josephus admitted that he could not speak Greek fluently and that the Yahudite (sn-Jew) frowned on any Yahudite (sn-Jew) who did. "I have also taken a great deal of pains to obtain the learning of the Greeks, and understanding the elements of the Greek language although I have so long accustomed myself to speak our own language, that I cannot pronounce Greek with sufficient exactness: for our nation does not encourage those that learn the languages of many nations" (Antiquities, 20:11:2).
If Josephus was unable to speak Greek sufficiently, how could the uneducated disciples write their books in Greek? Why would they even want to do so?
Paul said, For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.
But He answered and said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
The New Testament is a continuation of the Old, not a cancellation of the Old, so why switch to pagan Greek?
Does arguing for a Greek New Testament bring one closer to the truth, or take one further from it, knowing that the Old Testament is a thoroughly Hebrew work?

Can you produce early (Before 500AD) mss.(manuscripts) where there are NT fragments written in Hebrew ?
Otherwise you may as well face reality that for some reason God chose to have His original record of Jesus written in that (YIIKKKES) 'pagan' Greek language. Sorry to burst your bubble but it is an imaginary one until evidence proves otherwise.
...let me just add that there has been hundreds of NT fragments in Greek found dating before 500AD. You can go by what seems sensible, but it simply lacks actual evidence.
