When asked by Peter who was filled with the Holy Spirit, they both lied and got judged for it.

Her name was Sarah. She was married to Abraham. Two angels had come to visit. They told Abraham that they would return when the seasons comes round again and that she'd be carrying her baby by that after about 9 decades of waiting. Sarah being very old over head and laughed at the thought. She didn't see her self being together with Abraham much less carrying a baby.
