It would make perfect sense, because the New Testament was (for the most part) written in koine greek, the common language at the time of the early church.

I don't know much about this - is koine Greek different from Greek? What language was the Old Testament written in? Hebrew? Aremaic?
Why were they in a different language? Maybe just a sign of cultural domination by Greeks in those days............
