Genesis 18:13

Sarah Laughs at the Promise

12So she laughed to herself, saying, “After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?”13And the LORD asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Can I really bear a child when I am old?’ 14Is anything too difficult for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you—in about a year—and Sarah will have a son.”
