A:Whenever The Bible talks of "this generation" it is a reference to the people living at the time in which the story is set. So, when (Mark 8:12) Jesus says that this generation will not receive a sign, it means that the Pharisees who were goading him will not see a sign from heaven. When Jesus said (12:30) that this generation will not pass until these things are done, he means that the sun and moon will be darkened, the stars will fall from the sky and Jesus will return in clouds of glory, while at least some of those alive at the time of Jesus were still alive - obviously not before any of them had died. This last prophecy did not come to pass, so Matthew and Luke, in copying from Mark, changed it to say that no one will know when Jesus will return.

How did the first Bible come out?

The bible (or collection of books) was a collection of stories that had been passed down from generation to generation. Eventually some people wrote parts of the bible down, and these parts were copied over and over, while the method of verbal translation still existed. Eventually someone collected enough of these books to call it the bible. (Probably the Jewish bible to start.) The bible continued to be revised and updated throughout the years. By the time of the printing press, versions of the bible had been 'standardized'. More standardized versions of the Bible continued to be developed. Note that the Islam developed from Christianity which developed from Judaism, so the first bible was either one of Judaism or a still earlier religion.
