A small collection of french monks who were given the task of editing a rather large collection of stuff into one common Bible. Then it went through a few more changes....What you now have is a highly edited mess of stuff from a time a language and a culture that is long gone. And OBTW it is only a small percentage of the original works. Confused? You should be.

"There are presently 5,686 Greek manuscripts in existence today for the New Testament.1 If we were to compare the number of New Testament manuscripts to other ancient writings, we find that the New Testament manuscripts far outweigh the others in quantity... The internal consistency of the New Testament documents is about 99.5% textually pure. That is an amazing accuracy. In addition, there are over 19,000 copies in the Syriac, Latin, Coptic, and Aramaic languages. The total supporting New Testament manuscript base is over 24,000." https://carm.org/manuscript-evidence
