6. So Abraham hurried into the tent and said to Sarah, “Quick! Take three measures of fine flour, knead it, and make bread.”
7. Then Abraham ran to the herd and chose a fine, tender calf, and gave it to a servant, who quickly prepared it.
8. Abraham then took some curds and milk, along with the calf that had been prepared, and placed the food before them. They ate while he was standing near them under a tree.
9. Then they asked him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” He replied, “There, in the tent.”
10. One of them said, “I will surely return to you when the season comes round again, and your wife Sarah will have a son!” (Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, not far behind him.
11. Abraham and Sarah were old and advancing in years; Sarah had long since passed menopause.)
12. So Sarah laughed to herself, thinking, “After I am worn out will I have pleasure, especially when my husband is old too?”
13. The Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child when I am old?’
14. Is anything impossible for the Lord? I will return to you when the season comes round again and Sarah will have a son.”
15. Then Sarah lied, saying, “I did not laugh,” because she was afraid. But the Lord said, “No! You did laugh.”
