The Bible was written in three languages: Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek.
The 12 disciples were not were not allowed to carry food, money, or extra clothing.
Dogs are mentioned 14 times in the Bible, and lions 55 times, but domestic cats are not mentioned at all.

The oldest almost-complete manuscript of the Bible still existing is the Codex Vaticanus, dating from the first half of the 4th century, now held in the Vatican library.

The word "Lord" appears 1855 times in the Bible.
The word "God" appears in every book except Esther and Song of Solomon.
The word "grandmother" appears in the Bible only once: 2 Timothy 1:5.
