The bible is the (holy) scripture. It comprises both the Old Testament and New Testament. The New Testament (new agreement) reveals the life and work of Jesus and the first Christians. The word "christian" is used in Acts 26:27 when the Apostle Paul is defending himself before King Agrippa. In the New Testament, the first 4 books are called Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and are known as the gospels. These gospels tell of Jesus' birth, His life and work, His death and resurrection.
Jesus tells us that most all of the Bible (see Genesis 3:15 and Deuteronomy 18:15 of Moses' writings) ending with the Book of Revelation - parts of His life are revealed:
Luke 24:27New International Version (NIV) 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
Those would be the four Gospels in the New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
ANOTHER ANSWER:
The "gospels" mentioned above do indeed focus on Jesus' "mortal life" on earth. But, considering that the entire Bible is the recording of His "inspired" Words [that have proceeded from the mouth of God] from Genesis to Revelation... His "teachings" are found throughout the Bible; with the primary focus of those teachings on His Laws, which would have to be shared by the five books of Moses.
His "New Testament teachings" focus on the "spiritual expansion and magnification" of the laws recorded by Moses [for Jesus referenced all His teachings in the gospels from the "Old Testament teachings;" which was the ONLY BIBLE {books, scrolls} around in those days]. His New Testament magnification of the law isn't about the "ACT" of sinning [breaking the law - I John 3:4]... as much as they were about the "spiritual thought process" that leads up to the manifestation of the sinful act:
"You have heard that the Law of Moses says, 'Do not murder' [the 7th Commandment or law]. If you commit murder, you are subject to Judgment.' But I SAY, IF YOU ARE ANGRY [anger is a SPIRITUAL EMOTION, that, if left to fester within one's heart, can lead to a murderous act] with someone, you are subject to Judgment! If you CALL someone an idiot [words are invisible; spiritual - '...the Words that I speak unto you, THEY ARE SPIRIT, and they are LIFE.' - John 6:63], you are in danger of being brought before the high council. And if you CURSE someone [vile, spiritual words], you are in danger of the fires of hell[Gehenna, the valley on the outskirts of Jerusalem where trash was burned; along with certain incorrigible criminals, that shall become the Lake of Fire when Jesus returns].
But, it's Moses' "inspired" Old Testament recordings of God's laws that would be the primary foundation and focal point of God's teachings in the Bible; with Christ's teachings recorded throughout the "gospels" and the "instructional, edifying letters" to all the churches throughout the New Testament, that ILLUMINATE and MAGNIFY the spiritual aspect of them.
The entire book would, of course, be the Bible, however, Christ's work and the Disciple's work are spread in various books of the New Testament.
"The Holy Bible" I don't share these views but this was an easy one to answer.
The books of scripture that best describe Jesus life and teachings are the 4 gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. For a more historic view read The Acts of the apostles.
The first four books of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
You have it a little backwards my friend. The Bible is based on Jesus' teachings. Specifically the first four books of the new testament. Jesus refers to the old testament sometimes in his teachings but they were not based on them.
The Bible is fundamental in understanding who Jesus is, as his teachings and life are written about by those who lived alongside him in at least 4 "books" and all the background for us to understand why he did what he did and where he did it, is in the rest of the Bible.
The complete Bible, all 66 books, can be considered teachings of Jesus, but to give a brief summary, and more to the point, the Sermon on the Mount covered a lot of material over 3 chapters, so that is where I would begin to start on teachings of Jesus. Sermon on the Mount Matthew chapters 5-7
The gospel refers to the four books in the bible that cover the life of Jesus. They are Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. Gospel is an Old English word that meant "Good News" as in, the Gospels brought the good news of Jesus's teachings. The Bible contains the four gospels and they are the first four books of the New Testament.
The last testament is known as the New Testament in the Christian Bible. It comprises the books of the Bible that recount the teachings of Jesus Christ and the early Christian church.

The four books that tell the story of Jesus' life are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, collectively known as the four Gospels in the New Testament of the Bible. Each of these books provides a unique perspective on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
BasicInstructionsBeforeLeavingEarthAlthough the person who wrote the above thought that was funny, it is no joking matter. I do not know what Bible means. I do know that it contains God's instructions, promises, accomplishments, stories, and gifts. It is a sacred holy book that was written by men who were inspired by God. It tells us how you truly get to heaven. The only way is through Jesus Christ, not through good works. This may not be the answer you were looking for, but open a Bible, read it and find out for yourself.Answer:The word Bible means "books" or "collection of books".
I would look in the books of Matthew and John. Not only do these books contain most if not all of what the Son of God taught, but his love for us as well.
No. Before his death, Jesus promised that after he left, the Spirit of Truth would come to the apostles and guide them "into all the truth" (John 16:13). Thus, the teachings of the apostles recorded in the later New Testament books are really Jesus' teachings.
jesus did not write any of the books in the bible.
No, there is no book on Jesus' birth that puts it all together using all the books of the Bible, except the Bible.
