Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hebrews 11:11

_ _ also Sara herself — though being the weaker vessel, and though at first she doubted.

_ _ was delivered of a child — omitted in the oldest manuscripts: then translate, “and that when she was past age” (Romans 4:19).

_ _ she judged him faithful who had promised — after she had ceased to doubt, being instructed by the angel that it was no jest, but a matter in serious earnest.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hebrews 11:4-31.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hebrews 11:11

Sarah also herself — Though at first she laughed at the promise, Genesis 18:12. Genesis 21:2.
