Verse 12
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself ,.... Not for joy of a son, and as pleased with it, believing so it would be; but as disbelieving it, and perhaps deriding it, and confuting it with a laugh, which, though it did not appear in her countenance, was secretly in her heart:
saying , not with her mouth, but in her mind:
after I am waxed old , being almost ninety years of age:
shall I have pleasure ? in conception, or rather in having a son, and in suckling and nursing him, and bringing him up; for in bearing and bringing forth is sorrow:
and my Lord being old also ; which increased the difficulty and her unbelief: the Apostle Peter seems to have respect to this in 1 Peter 3:6 .
Be the first to react on this!
