Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.Galatians 4:23His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born through the promise.Genesis 22:15–16And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time,Genesis 18:13–14And the LORD asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Can I really bear a child when I am old?’Genesis 16:10Then the angel added, “I will greatly multiply your offspring so that they will be too numerous to count.”
