The word 'Bible' is NOT found in the original text of The Bible.

The word "Bible" is an English word.

It comes through the Latin from the Greek word bi·bli′a, meaning "little books." (This, in turn, is derived from bi′blos, a word that describes the inner part of the papyrus plant out of which a primitive form of paper was made.)

The Bible is comprised of 66 little books.

Jesus and writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures referred to the collection of sacred writings as "the Scriptures," or "the holy Scriptures," "the holy writings"; but never as 'The Bible'.
