Genesis 18:7-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

7. In truth, he himself ran to the herd, and he took a calf from there, very tender and very good, and he gave it to a servant, who hurried and boiled it.

8. Likewise, he took butter and milk, and the calf which he had boiled, and he placed it before them. Yet truly, he himself stood near them under the tree.

9. And when they had eaten, they said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" He answered, "Behold, she is in the tent."

10. And he said to him, "When returning, I will come to you at this time, with life as a companion, and your wife Sarah will have a son." Hearing this, Sarah laughed behind the door of the tent.

11. Now they were both old, and in an advanced state of life, and it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

12. And she laughed secretly, saying, "After I have grown old, and my lord is elderly, shall I give myself to the work of delight?"
