¹¹ Abraham and Sarah were very old, and Sarah was well past the age for having children. ^12 (A) So she laughed and said to herself, “Now that I am worn out and my husband is old, will I really know such happiness?”^[a]

¹³ The Lord asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Does she doubt that she can have a child in her old age? ^14 (B) I am the Lord! There is nothing too difficult for me. I'll come back next year at the time I promised, and Sarah will already have a son.”

^2 (A) Although Abraham was very old, Sarah had a son exactly at the time God had said.
