Christian tradition attributes the Gospels of Matthew and John to two of the twelve disciples. Epistles are also attributed to James, John, Jude and Peter.
Actually, none of the twelve disciples wrote any book that we see in the New Testament. The four gospels were written anonymously and were only attributed th the disciples whose names they now bear, later in the second century. Scholars say that these gospels were not written by eyewitnesses to the events they portray. None of the epistles can be attributed to any of the disciples. In fact, Jude clearly identifies itself as a second-century book, while 2 Peter includes almost all of the material in Jude, proof that 2 Peter was also written during the second century. Scholars have looked closely at all these works to find evidence of the original disciples, but see nothing in the gospels or epistles that points back to any of the disciples.

Why is there not a bible written all in Hebrew?
The first five books of The Bible were translated from the original Hebrew- that's a start!
What is the name of the original Bible?
The Bible was not written at one time. Parts of the Bible such as the Pentateuch were composed and referenced in later books such as Ruth and Psalms which were in turn referenced in later books like the Gospels. There is no "original Bible". The Bible officially sanctioned by the Catholic Church was the Latin Vulgate, which may be what you are referring to, but it was not the first incarnation of the Bible. Note: Bible means "Book".
