It has long been assumed that the first gospel to be written was Matthew's Gospel. After all, it is usually the first gospel in the New Testament, and the second-century Church Fathers came to that conclusion, believing it to have been written in Hebrew.
However, New Testament scholars now know that Mark's Gospel was the first New Testament gospel to be written, and that all the gospels were actually written in Greek. We do not really know the names of the gospel authors, as they were all written anonymously until speculatively attributed to the persons whose names they now bear, later in the second century.

Which gospel write was the first of the evangelists and wrote the gospel in Hebrew?
The wording of your question is somewhat confusing. Perhaps this answer will suffice: Matthew and John were among Jesus' original "chosen twelve," so, of the gospel writers, they would have been the first to evangelize when Jesus sent the disciples out under the "limited commission" (see Matthew chapter 10, beginning with verse 5). However, none of the gospels were written in Hebrew. The original language of all the gospels is Greek.
