The Lord Jesus said that not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen; will by any means disappear from the Bible; however, there are a dozen of books that are disappeared from the Bible.
On the other hand, the Quran is not able to be corrupted neither by increase nor by decrease of any letter or the least stroke of a pen or a jot of it.
This is because; Allah the Almighty is the guardian of the Quran.
The Lost Books in the Bible:
Who saved the Bible?
The Bible is saved by man.
The Lord Jesus (Peace be upon Him) said:
Matthew 5:18 (New International Version)
I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen; will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
Matthew 5:18 (KJV)
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
It follows that the Bible is not corrupted.
However, there are some books that are mentioned in the Bible but are not found, i.e., they disappeared!
Examples of such Books:
1) Where is the book of the wars of the LORD?
Numbers 21:14
Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
2) Where is the book of Jasher?
Joshua 10:13
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
3) Where is the book of the acts of Solomon?
1 Kings 11:41
And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?

2 Chronicles 35:25
And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.
5) Where is the law of the LORD

Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that which was written in the law of the LORD,

2 Kings 23:28
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
7) Where is the book of Nathan the prophet?
8) Where is the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite?
9) Where is the book of the visions of Iddo the seer?
2 Chronicles 9:29
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
10) Where is the book of the sayings of the seers?
2 Chronicles 33:19
His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.
11) Where is the book of the story of the prophet Iddo?
2 Chronicles 13:22
And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.
12) Where is the book spoken by the prophets which says that
1) He will dwell in a city called Nazareth and/or
2) He shall be called a Nazarene
Matthew 2:23
And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene
The Lost Books in the Quran:
Surah 15:9
QARIB: it is we who sent down the Quran, and we watch over it.
SHAKIR: surely we have revealed the reminder and we will most surely be its guardian
PICKTHAL: lo! we, even we, reveal the reminder, and lo! we verily are its guardian.
YUSUFALI: we have, without doubt, sent down the message; and we will assuredly guard it (from corruption).
This verse indicates that the Quran is not able to be corrupted neither by increase nor by decrease of any letter or the least stroke of a pen or a jot of it.
This is because; Allah the Almighty is the guardian of the Quran.
Back to the main issue of my series of articles; this is my question to you smart readers: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible "?
