A:Every book in the New Testament was originally written in Greek and therefore presumably intended for a Greek-speaking audience. However, the form of Greek used in the gospels was Greek Koine, which would not have been used in writing for Greeks of the Greek mainland, but rather for people of the Middle Eastern area. Paul's epistles to the Corinthians and 1 Thessalonians were written to churches in Greece.
