Nothing is mentioned but as there were 13 people in the New Testament (12 disciples and Jesus) it is considered unlucky.In the Exodus in the Old Testament the Jews left Egypt on the Passover (or Nisan 14 on the Jewish calendar) when all the first-born of the Egyptians died the previous night ( ie Nisan 13), so for the Egyptians "13" was definitely unlucky.

There is no direct reference in The Bible that suggests the number 13 is unlucky. The number 13 is considered unlucky in some cultures due to its association with the Last Supper where Judas, the betrayer of Jesus, was the 13th guest. It is a superstition, not a biblical teaching.
