Christian tradition attributes the Gospels of Matthew and John to two of the twelve disciples. Epistles are also attributed to James, John, Jude and Peter.
Actually, none of the twelve disciples wrote any book that we see in the New Testament. The four gospels were written anonymously and were only attributed th the disciples whose names they now bear, later in the second century. Scholars say that these gospels were not written by eyewitnesses to the events they portray. None of the epistles can be attributed to any of the disciples. In fact, Jude clearly identifies itself as a second-century book, while 2 Peter includes almost all of the material in Jude, proof that 2 Peter was also written during the second century. Scholars have looked closely at all these works to find evidence of the original disciples, but see nothing in the gospels or epistles that points back to any of the disciples.

How can you tell you have an original Bible?
I have a degree in Biblical Studies and I've never heard of a Bible referred to as "an original Bible." The original manuscripts (autographs) of the books that became the canon (our Bible) are not extant (still in existence). Bibles are mass-produced. They are printed from electronic copy by the company that owns the license for that particular translation. No Bible is more or less original than others.
