“First, if you don’t mind please share:

“And where does our Lord say that” all of God’s revelation
is written in the Bible?”

It doesn't. What IS said is that all that is necessary to make us perfect, completely equipped for doing God's will is there (1 Tim. 3:17) and that we can be made holy by means of His word (John 17:17) to the gaining of eternal life. (John 17:3).

Jesus said he would send the holy spirit to enlighten and enliven the minds of the disciples so that when they wrote down the Scriptures they didn't have to rely on their own imperfect and faulty memories. (John 14:26)
Therefore Paul could say God's Word exerts power and is alive (Heb. 4:12) it being a product of His spirit, “All Scripture is inspired by God....”. (1 Tim.3:16)

So is an extra-biblical revelation needed or just guidance by spirit into a better understanding of those presented to us in the Scriptures?

Hi. Correct, you said it, the BOLDED...Martin Luther’s “Bible Alone” is heresy.

You meant 2 Timothy.

2 Tim 3:15
And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures, which can instruct thee to salvation, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus. [16] All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice, [17] That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.

Timothy only knew the written OLD Testament from infancy.

Jesus teachings were all oral. The Apostles shared them in the same way, passed them on orally. It was later SOME of Jesus’ teachings were written down and compiled...the Bible.

You accept part of the Oral Word even though you profess “Bible Alone.”
