Genesis 49:31  

There Abraham and his wife Sarah were buried, there Isaac and his wife Rebekah were buried, and there I buried Leah.

Isaiah 51:2  

Look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was but one and I blessed him and made him many.

Romans 4:19  

Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah's womb was also dead.

Romans 9:8

 In other words, it is not the natural children who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring.

Hebrews 11:11  

By faith Abraham, even though he was past age—and Sarah herself was barren—was enabled to become a father because he considered him faithful who had made the promise.
