The Bible was written in various languages by various people over time. The Greek Translation is just that - the New Testament in Greek. Greek was used as a diplomatic and trade language during the Roman Empire - Most of the Eastern Med had been greek speaking for centuries before the rise of Rome.
Translating into Greek was therefore a good way of increasing readership. Later translations to Latin and other languages were carried out for the same reasons.
