You are right. It is literally stated in all Bible translations that Jesus the Christ is The Word, aka "The Word of God."
None of the authors of the Bibles book ever state that any Bible is the word of God. In fact, there was no real Bible as we know it until 397 AD. Oh, all of the books in it existed before 97 AD; 300 years before the Bible collection was officially closed with no more books to be added to it. In around 404 AD, a pope in Rome wrote a papal bull (official paper) and he wrote "The Canon (of the Bible) is now closed." Because of what he wrote, Roman Catholic Church members often claim that their denomination put the Bible together. At the time the Bible was officially canonized in 397 AD, the church denomination which did the collecting just considered the church in Rome just to be like any individual church.
