撒拉懷了孕，到了神對亞伯拉罕說的那個所定時期，在亞伯拉罕年老的時候，為他生了一個兒子。

而我的約，我要與以撒確立。這以撒，就是撒拉要在明年所定的時期為你生的兒子。」

這就是說，肉身的兒女並不是神的兒女，只有應許的兒女才算是後裔。原來所應許的話是這樣的：「到明年這時候我要來，撒拉會生一個兒子。」

神說：「不，你的妻子撒拉將為你生一個兒子，你要給他起名為以撒。我要與他確立我的約，作為他後裔永遠的約。

我要祝福她，也要藉著她賜給你一個兒子。我要祝福她，她將成為多國之母，萬族的君王要從她而出。」

耶和華的使者第二次從天上向亞伯拉罕呼喚，說：「耶和華宣告：我指著自己起誓，你既然做了這事，沒有留下你的兒子，就是你的獨生子，

那出於女僕的是由肉體生的，那出於自由女人的是藉著應許生的。

不過弟兄們，你們就像以撒一樣，是應許的兒女。

耶和華的使者又對她說：「我將使你的後裔大大增多，多得無法數清。」

耶和華對亞伯拉罕說：「撒拉為什麼暗笑，說：『我已經老了，真的還能生育嗎？』在耶和華還有難成的事嗎？到了所定的時期，明年這時候，我必回到你這裡；那時撒拉就會有一個兒子。」

天使對他說：「撒迦利亞，不要怕，因為你的祈禱已蒙垂聽。你的妻子伊莉莎白要為你生一個兒子，你要給他起名叫約翰。
