The Bible as is commonly held today had as its originating manuscripts languages of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.
The original Hebrew "Bible" was the Pentateuch, or what we refer to as the first five books of the Bible written by Moses, I.e., Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
Later Christian scholars added all of the Old Testament books, from Joshua through Malachi, and the New Testament books, from Matthew through Revelation.

What did the early christian called the Hebrews scriptures they adopted?
Being that most of Christ's teachings were based on the Hebrew writings, early Christians referred to the Jewish TaNaK, which is the Hebrew Bible. Many of the different books of the New Testament were originally written and published separately, so many early Christians added them to their Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, called the Septuagint. It wasn't until the books of the New Covenant, or the New Testament, were beginning to be canonized into an organized Christian bible, with the books of the TaNaK at it's basis, when the Hebrew texts were seen as the Old Testament.

How are the Hebrew and the Greek and the King James bible different from each other?
A quick look at the names of the sacred Jewish books implies that they constitute the O.T. and are the same thing. (Beyond the O.T., the Christian bible has many additional books.)However, there are some important differences. One difference is that the Jewish Bible (the Tanakh) is only in the original Hebrew. Any translation, whether done by Jews or Gentiles, is, at best, no more than an indication of what the Tanakh is saying. Many verses teach us a number of things.Another difference is that the Christian Old Testament may contain a few books that are not in the Tanakh (such as the books of Judith and Sirach).

Where did the Bible get translated into Greek?
The Greek Septuagint was the common Bible (Old Testament) in the time of Jesus. It was translated from the original Hebrew and Aramaic between the third and first centuries BC, in Alexandria. The Greek translators added passages and books of their own; these were later purged from Jewish Bibles. The New Testament was written in Greek, over the first two centuries AD/CE. _____ Here we must remember Greek was the language in which the bible was written , it was translated into other languages later on.
Why do Jews only believe the Old Testament?
The New Testament primarily assumes that Jesus was the Messiah and the Savior, who came to forgive all our sins and fulfill the prophesies made in the Hebrew Bible. (Jews do not call it the Old Testament. It is generally called in Hebrew the Tanakh, or sometimes referred to as the Torah-- the Teachings of God.) The New Testament is the book about the origins of Christianity, and that is why Christians refer to the Hebrew Bible as the Old Testament, since Christians believe there is a now a new religion and a new testament. But Jews do not believe any new bible can be added to the Hebrew Bible, nor do they believe in the new religion of Christianity. Christians often point to verses in the Hebrew scriptures that they believe are predictions of Jesus as the savior and messiah, but Jews do not believe that these verses are about Jesus at all. Among the other reasons why Jews do not accept the New Testament: Jews do not believe that God has a son (we are ALL sons and daughters of God); that a human sacrifice is needed for sins; or that anyone's death can atone for another person's sin: the Book of Ezekiel says very clearly in chapter 18 that no-one can die for your sins, and that the person who sins, he (or she) alone bears the punishment. Also, Jews commonly understand that when the messiah comes, there will be world peace, an end to prejudice, and everyone uniting in the belief in the one God (Zechariah 8:23). Since this has not yet occurred, and since there is no mention in the Hebrew Bible of a second coming, Jews conclude that Jesus could not have been the messiah, and they are thus still waiting for the Messiah to come.
