I'm learning New Testament Greek on my own*, and sometimes I paste a snippet in to Claude Sonnet and ask questions about the language (or occasionally the interpretation); I usually say it's from the New Testament but don't bother with the reference. Probably around half the time, the opening line of the response is, "This verse is <reference>, and...". The reference is almost always accurate.

In case it helps, Bill Mounce has one or two classes on Biblical Greek via his free seminary:

https://www.biblicaltraining.org/learn/institute/nt201-bibli...

(Note: They actually host free classes from instructors at over a dozen seminaries. Mounce himself is a top expert in Greek.)

For anyone learning Biblical Hebrew, I found Master's Seminary has some courses on it:

Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek and the workbook were good enough that I stopped watching the lectures. The workbook is excellent. Can't recommend it enough.
