The gospels tell us that Jesus was crucified during the time of Pontius Pilate, who governed Judea between 26 CE and 36 CE. Tradition generally holds that Jesus died either 30 CE or 33 CE.

The first gospel to be written, the Gospel According to St. Mark, is believed by most scholars to have been written around 70 CE. Matthew followed, probably in the eighties, then Luke and John.

The Epistles of St. Paul are generally believed to have been written in the fifties, but may have been somewhat earlier. Hebrews and possibly some of the other epistles may also have preceded the New Testament gospels.

Of course, the Old Testament was written long before the time of Jesus.

The New Testament was written within approximately 15 - 70 years of Christ's death, within the lifetime of the disciples and their close associates.

Was the bible handwritten by Jesus?

The Bible comes in two sections the Old Testament And the New Testament, The Old testament is the book that governs the Jewish religion and Jesus was an authority on this and was referred to as Rabi by many that came to hear him and learn from him. The New testament Is the second part of the bible and this is the book that reefers to the works and the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Jews who were the compositors of the first testament do not recognise the second testament as they do not recognise Christ. However Jesus Christ did not write any part of the New testament as a mater of fact most of it was written long after the death of Jesus. No, it was written by a number of people, Jesus' disciple's. God overall wrote the book because God told them what to write. But God did not HANDWRITE it. God is not Jesus, it is his son. Jesus did not wright the bible, it was his disciple's, kings, and translators that wrote the bible.

When was the first Bible written?

The Bible was written over a period of time in separate books. These books are what the bible consists of. Since Adam was created about 6,000 years ago (you get this number by referencing the genealogy in the Bible) you can safely assume it was after that.

Does the book of Mormon reference the resurrection of Jesus?

Yes! The Book of Mormon references the resurrection of Jesus Christ long before the event actually took place. In 2 Nephi chapter 9 (estimated to be written in 559 BC) we learn that it has been the plan of God from the beginning that there should be a resurrection brought about by the atonement of a Savior, who is Jesus Christ. In Jacob chapter 4 (estimated to be written in 544 BC), the atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ is also mentioned. In the book of Mosiah, chapter 15 (estimated to be written in 148 BC) the doctrine of resurrection is discussed. Here, we learn that Jesus Christ will break the bonds of death, that He will be resurrected, and that through Him all others will be resurrected. Jesus' resurrection is also discussed in chapter 18. In Alma chapter 40 (estimated to be written in 74 BC), the doctrine of resurrection and the event of Christ's resurrection is discussed in further detail. Helaman chapter 14 (estimated to be written in 6 BC) teaches that "the resurrection of Christ redeemeth mankind." and foretells what those on the American continent will experience at the time of Christ's death and resurrection. The 3 Nephi tells of the events that occurred in the Americas at the time of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection, but does not repeat the Bible story of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It describes a period of three days darkness taking place during the time Christ was in the tomb, and tells the story of the resurrected Christ visiting the Book of Mormon peoples several months after His resurrection. The later books of Mormon and Moroni, written a few hundred years after the life of Christ, remind us that we should have hope in the power of the resurrection of Christ.
