Greek was the lingua franca of the time. Most things were written in Greek.

Most of the disciples were illiterate. But whoever wrote teh various books of the Bible would probably hve written in Greek.

Meaning that, as any work we read in English by a non-English speaking author is a translation, the words of Jesus had to be translated before being transcribed, either by the authors or by those who were telling the stories orally before they got written down.
