There is no "original bible." It would be like saying someone had Thor's original hammer, but that the head hand been changed 230 times and the handle 52 times.
For example, the so-called "New Testament" is the work of a Roman committee that gathered some hundreds of years after the events. It then decided what would be, or not, appropriate.
Of course the book known to the Jews as the "Tenach" and Christians as the "Old Testament" has been pretty much stable for quite a while - but again, there is no concept of an "original." It was always a sort of anthology.

There is no original Bible...
Its all just "mini-stories", or the chapters that have been found over time and compiled into one book. I dont know when the first "Bible" came out... But its not as if it was written at one time. The bible was written over thousands of years.

What do you mean by "original Bible"? I'd guess they have some of the original Greek texts, probably some of the Latin Vulgate, and almost certainly a Gutenberg Bible or two.

The original Bible is probably long gone.

There is no "original bible" The torah is from way before jesus' time and the NT is from well after AD.
