10 The Lord said, "I will certainly come back to you in about a year’s time, and your wife Sarah will have a son! " 18:10 Gn 17:10; 21:1; Rm 9:9 Now Sarah was listening at the entrance of the tent behind him.
11 Abraham and Sarah were old and getting on in years. 18:11 Lit days Sarah had passed the age of childbearing. 18:11 Gn 17:17; Rm 4:19; Heb 11:11–1212 So she laughed to herself: "After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I have delight? " 18:12 Gn 17:17; Lk 1:18; 1Pt 3:6
13 But the Lord asked Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Can I really have a baby when I’m old? ’ 14 Is anything impossible for the Lord? 18:14 Jb 34:10; Jr 32:17,27; Mt 19:26; Mk 10:27; Lk 1:37; 18:27; Heb 6:18 At the appointed time I will come back to you, and in about a year she will have a son."
