Genesis 18:10-15
King James Version
10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
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.

New King James Version
10 And He said, “I will certainly return to you (A)according to the time of life, and behold, (B)Sarah your wife shall have a son.”
(Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.) 11 Now (C)Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and [a]Sarah (D)had passed the age of childbearing. 12 Therefore Sarah (E)laughed within herself, saying, (F)“After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my (G)lord being old also?”
13 And the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’ 14 (H)Is anything too hard for the Lord? (I)At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”
15 But Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid.
And He said, “No, but you did laugh!”
