9 And they sayde vnto hym: where is Sara thy wife? He aunswered, behold, in the tent. 10 And he sayde: I wyll certaynely returne vnto thee according to the time of lyfe: and lo, Sara thy wyfe shall haue a sonne. That heard Sara in the tent doore, which was behynde hym. 11 Abraham and Sara were both olde, and well stryken in age: and it ceassed to be with Sara after the maner as it is with women. 12 Therefore Sara laughed within her selfe, saying: Nowe I am waxed olde shal I geue my selfe to lust, and my Lorde olde also? 13 And God said vnto Abraham: wherfore dyd Sara laugh, saying, shall I of a suertie beare a chylde, which am olde? 14 Is any thing vnpossible to God? Accordyng to the tyme appoynted wyll I returne vnto thee euen according to the time of life: & Sara shall haue a sonne. 15 The Sara denied it, saying: I laughed not: for she was afrayde. And he sayde: it is not so, but thou laughedst. Genesis 18:9-15, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
