| 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
13 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

| This scene once again shows people that it is impossible for man, but everything is possible for God. In this scene, Sarah doubted God's power for a second in her thoughts, but the Lord, knowing this, immediately cuts off her doubts. I also believe that Abraham has a great responsibility, which he humbly agrees to bear, because he loves His Father.

Sarah's "laughter", which is the expression of natural scare an confusion, reminds me of an episode in which Mary gets confused being told about a Child she will bring. I love these lines as they are kind of "human-like", touching and getting us a little bit closer to the Biblical story.

| It is noteworthy that Sarah, like Adam and Eve, renounces her act out of fear and hope that God does not know for sure. A very good parallel, which I have always noticed and which is common to all people. After all, it is much easier to say that something did not happen than to explain the reason for your words or actions.
