And they had no child, for Elisabeth was barren; and they were both far advanced in years.

thy cousin Elisabeth also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren;

For behold the days are coming in which they shall say, happy are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.

For it is written, Rejoice thou barren, that for a while didst not bear, break forth and cry aloud for joy, thou that didst not travail with child; for many more are the children of the desolate than of her that hath an husband."
