The New Testament was written entirely in Greek Koine, a dialect of Attic Greek.

KOINE Greek was the form of the language spread throughout the Near East by the conquests of Alexander the great. This was the language of the marketplace at the time of the early church. Since Greek was spoken as a trade language throughout much of the Roman Empire, Christianity was able to spread from region to region without a language barrier.
