The Message

Genesis 18:10-16 The Message (MSG)

10. One of them said, “I’m coming back about this time next year. When I arrive, your wife Sarah will have a son.” Sarah was listening at the tent opening, just behind the man.

11-12. Abraham and Sarah were old by this time, very old. Sarah was far past the age for having babies. Sarah laughed within herself, “An old woman like me? Get pregnant? With this old man of a husband?”

13-14. God said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh saying, ‘Me? Have a baby? An old woman like me?’ Is anything too hard for God? I’ll be back about this time next year and Sarah will have a baby.”

15. Sarah lied. She said, “I didn’t laugh,” because she was afraid.But he said, “Yes you did; you laughed.”

16. When the men got up to leave, they set off for Sodom. Abraham walked with them to say good-bye.
