∙ 11y agoYes, in the Deuterocanonical books of the Catholic Bible the story is found in the Book of Maccabees. It is also referred to by Jesus and His disciple in John chapter 10 (the Feast of the Dedication).
Answer:
(In response to the above): Note that the book of Maccabees is not part of the Hebrew Bible. Hanukkah was instituted about 175 years after the Hebrew canon was sealed. So the Jewish answer is that Hanukkah is not in The Bible.

Why isn't Hanukkah in the Jewish Bible?
The Jewish rulers who defeated the Syrian Greeks were the Hasmoneans from the tribe of Levi in violation of the biblical command to have a ruler from the tribe of Judah.Answer:The above answer is simultaneously factual and mistaken. While the Hasmoneans did violate the Biblical tradition by making themselves unauthorized kings, they did so a couple of generations after the celebration of Hanukkah had been created.
