The Catholic Church protected it and very carefully proclaimed, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, what needed to be in the NT. And yes, the Church authorized what books would be part of the canon.
It was a Catholic bishop about 700 years ago who decided that there should be Chapter and verse separation so that it would be easier to read.

What's that got to do with the Roman Catholic Church.
What are you talking about? The word catholic is just a translation of the ancient Greek word katholikos (latin: catholicus) which means universal or "according to the whole". It started being used to refer to the Christian church in the second century to emphasize the universal nature of the church. It wasn't until much later that it began being used to describe the Roman Catholic denomination.

Egypt preserved the witness of God (Abraham, and later Jacob) from famine.

Elijah was preserved from famine by ravens, then a Gentile widow.
The Christ child was preserved from death threat by being hidden in Egypt.
Finally!
An admission of NEED!
