biblical stories
Old Testament tales
Biblical stories are narratives from the Bible—the creation of the world, Noah's flood, Moses parting the Red Sea, David and Goliath, the life of Jesus.
The phrase often implies familiarity: Everyone knows the biblical stories.
It can also suggest archetypal narratives with moral weight, whether or not the speaker takes them as literally true.
