On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Sarah laughed within herself - It was not a laughter of faith, like Abraham's, chap. xvii, 17, but a laughter of doubting and distrust. The great objection which Sarah could not get over was her age. I am waxed old, and past child-bearing in a course of nature, especially having been hitherto barren, and which magnifies the difficulty, My Lord is old also.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

Note, We must pray, not only for ourselves, but for others also; for we are members of the same body, at least of the same body of mankind. The particular graces eminent in this prayer. Here is great faith; and it is the prayer of faith that is the prevailing prayer.
