Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump recently called the Bible his "favorite book" while on the campaign trail, but he apparently doesn't want to discuss it in interviews.

Trump was asked to name "one or two of your most favorite Bible verses" during an interview on Bloomberg's television show "With All Due Respect" Wednesday. He wouldn't answer the question.

"I wouldn't want to get into it because to me that's very personal. You know, when I talk about the Bible, it's very personal, so I don't want to get into verses," Trump said, adding, "The Bible means a lot to me, but I don't want to get into specifics."

Later in the interview, host John Heilemann asked Trump if he was "an Old Testament guy or a New Testament guy."

"Probably equal," Trump said.
