Did the original authors of the Bible use verses ?

no

Stephen Langton, in the 12th century, added what we use today as the chapter divisions. He did this into the Latin Vulgate. The tradition is that these divisions were later transfered to the Hebrew Bible. From manuscripts dating back to the fourth century, however, some form of chapter divisions were used. In 1551, Robert Estienne (a.k.a. Stephanus) added verse divisions to his fourth edition of the Greek New Testament, while en route between Paris and Lyons, France. The first translation to employ his versification was the Geneva translation of 1557 (whole Bible, 1560).

When the books of the Bible were originally written, they did not contain chapter or verse references. The Bible was divided into chapters and verses to help us find Scriptures more quickly and easily. It is much easier to find "John chapter 3, verse 16" than it is to find "for God so loved the world..." In a few places, chapter breaks are poorly placed and as a result divide content that should flow together. Overall, though, the chapter and verse divisions are very helpful.

The chapter divisions commonly used today were developed by Stephen Langton, an Archbishop of Canterbury. Langton put the modern chapter divisions into place in around A.D. 1227. The Wycliffe English Bible of 1382 was the first Bible to use this chapter pattern. Since the Wycliffe Bible, nearly all Bible translations have followed Langton's chapter divisions.

The Hebrew Old Testament was divided into verses by a Jewish rabbi by the name of Nathan in A.D. 1448. Robert Estienne, who was also known as Stephanus, was the first to divide the New Testament into standard numbered verses, in 1555. Stephanus essentially used Nathan's verse divisions for the Old Testament. Since that time, beginning with the Geneva Bible, the chapter and verse divisions employed by Stephanus have been accepted into nearly all the Bible versions.

The original authors never wrote anything down it was passed word of mouth til some one scratched a line in sand and they invented lines!!! The stories were very rarely told the same way twice!!! No actual gods or devils exist anywhere outside of any ones religiously inculcated minds!!! Gods are from stories of the ancients and the ancients were as uneducated and as superstitious as any one can be!!! So why instead of just believing stories because they have been inculcated into your mind and you are indebted to believe them with out any reason then why don't you just investigate a little outside of any religious businesses because that would be like letting the police investigate other polices actions, oh they do do that and only the police ever win!!!

No. If we can go off of the earliest flawed copies of flawed copies of flawed copies of flawed copies of flawed copies that we have available to us (which for the New Testament are all written in Koine Greek), which we're forced to do since ZERO 1st century manuscripts (when the NT was supposedly originally written) are known to exist, then they just ran all the letters together, not even putting in paragraph breaks or punctuation of any kind.

The "verse" system of identifying particular sentences and phrases wasn't added until centuries after the original canon was assembled in the 4th century. Since 94% of all Greek manuscripts of the NT are from the 9th century CE or later, it's probably at that time that the verse system was introduced (or later).

No. The chapters and verses are not in the originals. They were put there to help readers locate the statements in the Bible books.

They were good bible scholars/students Can you imagine .walking around with scrolls?No chapters or verses? Having to discuss bible topics and looking them up to show people? Those people were not illiterate, like some claim today

You mean like how the Old Testament was translated from Hebrew written by Jews? My guess they didn't. That probably occurred when translating occurred centuries later by Bible scholars in Europe.

No. Verses and chapters were added later on, just to make it easier to read, navigate, and cite.

2Peter 1:21 "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."

there were no punctuation marks at all, chapters and verses were not marked until the 13th. and 16th. centuries

As far as we knowr, there were no chapters or verses.
