The New Testament is written in very poor koinè, most likely because it was their second language. A lot of the sentences come across as semitic which suggests that they spoke Aramaic in their daily life.
From a literary point of view the New Testament is garbage and not worth reading. Read the Illiad instead, it's in classical Attic with a dactylic hexameter.
