And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were far advanced in years.

And, behold, Elisabeth thy cousin, she also hath conceived in her old age: and this is the fifth month [of pregnancy] with her who was called barren.

For, behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs which have not borne, and the breasts which never suckled.

For it is written, "Rejoice, thou barren who bearest not, cry out and shout for joy, thou that travailest not, for more are the children of her that was desolate, than of her which had an husband."

By faith also that very Sarah, who was barren, received ability for the conception of seed, and past the usual time of life brought forth a child, because she accounted that he who promised it, would be true to his promise.
