Luke 1:36

Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month.

From Background Notes [BN] for Dec 19th & 20th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

In a single clarifying statement, the Gabriel declares: “For nothing will be impossible with God” (1:37). This language comes directly from Genesis 18:14...

...when God promised Abraham about the coming birth of Isaac, using the words “Is anything too hard for Yahweh?” In the Hebrew text, the words “too hard” come from the root palah, “to be wonderful, beyond one’s power, difficult to do.” The God of Israel had a reputation for “doing wonders” when every human option was exhausted. Was it too hard for God to give an old man and an old woman a baby in their old age? [BN,8]
