The word Bible comes from the Greek word "Biblos," which is translated "book." The original manuscripts of the Bible were kept in the synagogues. Those who had custody of the manuscripts first used the Greek word to describe the collection, which later became known as "the Book."

The Bible (from Koine Greek τὰ βιβλία, tà biblía, "the books") is a canonical collection of texts sacred in Judaism and Christianity. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible]

Thanks, I did not know that. Still no eucharist in there?

"The Bible (from Koine Greek τὰ βιβλία, tà biblía, "the books") is a canonical collection of texts sacred in Judaism and Christianity. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible]"

Thank you for making my point. From your quoted authority:

The Bible means "a canonical collection of texts sacred in Judaism and Christianity".

Tà biblía means "the books".

At no point in the Scriptures does the Greek term tà biblía refer to "a canonical collection of texts sacred in Judaism and Christianity."

Etymology does not control definition. To assume that it does, is called the "Genetic" or "Etymological" Fallacy (LINKS)

If etymology controlled definition, it would be wrong to use the word "biblios" or "Bible" to refer to any artifact not made of papyrus: the remote origin of the word.
