It is nowhere in the bible. Up until about the 6th century a.d it was related by oral tradition. One person telling the story and it getting passed down. Case in point: Revelations was written in 96 a.d. The decision of which ones to put into the bible didn't happen till centuries after that by a bishop in Rome. He picked and choosed what stories to put into the bible. Any hopes of the testaments or the OT being accurate is as reliable as giving a crack addict 10 dollars to hold onto for a day.

Jesus didn't. But his apostles and followers decided that it would be good if everyone could read about Jesus.
Skip ahead 325 years from Jesus' death.
The 1st Council of Nicaea is convoked by Emperor Constantine I and they began to canonize different writings.

In the beginning with his apostle Moses, in the book of
EXODUS 24:1-4,7
1) And He said unto Moses, come up unto the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off
2) And Moses alone shall come near the lord: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
3) And Moses came and told all the people all the words of the Lord, and all the judgements: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the Lord hath said will we do.
4) And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
7) And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient.
All of God's testaments are written by his prophets and apostles, even from the beginning. In the book of
2 Timothy 3:16,17
16) All scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17) That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
The question is the Lord hath said; Will ye do all, and be obedient?

Jesus didn't tell them that, or if He did it isn't recorded in Scripture. Instead we are told that the Holy Spirit who came to dwell in all true believers after Jesus ascended back to Heaven, moved the hearts and hands of the human authors of the Scriptures.

He didn't.
If Luke is an example, he initiated writing for the purpose of convincing a certain Theophilus.
