Did you know?

The most shoplifted book in the world is the Bible. It is also the best-selling book in the world with about 50 sold every minute. "Jesus wept," you might think. That happens to be the shortest verse in the Bible (John 11:35) The longest line in the Bible is Esther 8:9 – 89 words, 425 letters.

The Bible was written in three languages: Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek and 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.

For the kingdom, the power,

and the glory are yours
