New Testament

Genesis 18:8-15 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

8. Then he took curds and milk, and the calf which he prepared, and set it before them. And he was standing by them under the tree while they ate.

9. And they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” And he said, “Here, in the tent.”

10. And he said, “I will certainly return to you in the spring, and look, Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the doorway of the tent, and which was behind him.

11. Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; the way of women had ceased to be for Sarah.

12. So Sarah laughed to herself saying, “After I am worn out and my husband is old, shall this pleasure be to me?”

13. Then Yahweh said to Abraham, “What is this that Sarah laughed, saying, ‘Is it indeed true that I will bear a child, now that I have grown old?’

14. Is anything too difficult for Yahweh? At the appointed time I will return to you in the spring and Sarah shall have a son.”

15. But Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh,” because she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”
