New Testament

Genesis 18:5-15 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

5. and I will bring a piece of bread, that you may refresh yourselves; after that you may go on, since you have visited your servant." And they said, "So do, as you have said."

6. So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Quickly, prepare three measures of fine flour, knead it and make bread cakes."

7. Abraham also ran to the herd, and took a tender and choice calf and gave it to the servant, and he hurried to prepare it.

8. He took curds and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and placed it before them; and he was standing by them under the tree as they ate.

9. Then they said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" And he said, "There, in the tent."

10. He said, "I will surely return to you at this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son." And Sarah was listening at the tent door, which was behind him.

11. Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; Sarah was past childbearing.

12. Sarah laughed to herself, saying, "After I have become old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"

13. And the Lord said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Shall I indeed bear a child, when I am so old?'

14. Is anything too difficult for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, at this time next year, and Sarah will have a son."

15. Sarah denied it however, saying, "I did not laugh"; for she was afraid. And He said, "No, but you did laugh."
