There is no logical reason to believe that any NT book was originally written in Greek.
They all were written to jews, some of which were in other countries, but all of whom primarily spoke Hebrew, and Hebrew is the only language by which Yehova ever communicated with men. It was once the only language on Earth.

There is much reason to think so. The oldest mss. available are in Greek, Greek was very widely spoken even by the Romans, Paul's letters to Greeks are self evident.
And of course there was Cornelius, the Roman army officer who likely know Greek as well as Latin but not Hebrew.
