A prisoner was confined to solitary confinement and was given a Bible as his only companion. So he studied it very carefully for several years. Long before the days of computers, he discovered the following facts about the Bible:
It contains 3,586,489 letters.
It has 773,692 words.
It has 31,173 verses.
It has 1,189 chapters.
The word "and" occurs 46,277 times.
The middle verse in the entire Bible is verse 8 of psalm 118.
All the letters of the alphabet are found in Ezra 8:12.
The longest verse is Esther 8:9.
The shortest verse is John 11:35.
Those were the amazing facts which that prisoner researched out of the Bible.
We are nowhere told that the message of the Bible touched the prisoner's heart.
