Ancient sources on Sarah.

Early Christian Sources

Rom.4.19 He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb.

Rom.9.9 For this is what the promise said: “About this time next year I will return and Sarah shall have a son.”

Heb.11.11 By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.

1Pet.3.6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.
