6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. "Quick!" he said. "Get about half a bushel of fine flour. Mix it and bake some bread."
7 Then he ran to the herd. He picked out a choice, tender calf. He gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it.
8 Then he brought some butter and milk and the calf that had been prepared. He served them to the three men. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree.
9 "Where is your wife Sarah?" they asked him. "Over there, in the tent," he said.
10 Then the Lord said, "You can be sure that I will return to you about this time next year. Your wife Sarah will have a son." Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent behind him.
11 Abraham and Sarah were already very old. Sarah was too old to have a baby.
12 So she laughed to herself. She thought, "I'm worn out, and my husband is old. Can I really know the joy of having a baby?"
