- Abraham and Sarah were already old and well advanced in years, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing.
- So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, "After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?"
- Then the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, 'Will I really have a child, now that I am old?'
- Is anything too hard for the LORD ? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son."
- Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I did not laugh." But he said, "Yes, you did laugh."

- Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; Sarah was past childbearing.
- Sarah laughed to herself, saying, "After I have become old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"
- And the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Shall I indeed bear a child, when I am so old?'
- "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."
- Sarah denied it however, saying, "I did not laugh"; for she was afraid. And He said, "No, but you did laugh."
