Gen 17:17 · Douay-Rheims
“Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, saying in his heart: Shall a son, thinkest thou, be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sara that is ninety years old bring forth?”
On this verse:
“Laughed for joy and admiration at such unexpected news. “He rejoiced,” says the Chaldean, the faith of Abraham is never called into question. (Romans iv. 19.)”
