Genesis 18:11-15

11Abraham and Sarah were old. Sarah was past the age of childbearing.

12And so Sarah laughed to herself, thinking, “Now that I’ve become old, will I enjoy myself again? What’s more, my husband is old!”

13The Lord asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Can I really have a child now that I’m old?’

14Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will come back to you next year at this time, and Sarah will have a son.”

15Because she was afraid, Sarah denied that she had laughed. But the Lord said, “Yes, you did laugh.”
