There are some that believe 3 of the 4 gospels were originally written in Hebrew. Not because of the existence of manuscripts but because there are idioms that don't make sense when translated to Greek but make perfect sense should they have been translated from Hebrew.

Or, it could be that Greek wasn't their first language, and they wrote it in the idiom with which they were accustomed.
