Sarah’s Pregnancy Foretold
15 God told Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you are not to call her Sarai any longer,[a] because her name is to be Sarah.[b] 16 I will bless her. Furthermore, I will give you a son from her. I will bless her, so that nations, kings, and people will come from her.”
17 Abraham fell to the ground,[c] laughed, and told himself, “Can a child be born to a 100-year-old man? Can a 90-year-old Sarah give birth?”
