Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Genesis 39
²⁰ Then Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison.
²¹ But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
²² And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison; whatever they did there, it was his doing.
²³ The keeper of the prison did not look into anything that was under Joseph’s authority, because the Lord was with him; and whatever he did, the Lord made it prosper.
Genesis 40
¹ It came to pass after these things that the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt.
² And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief butler and the chief baker.
³ So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined.
⁴ And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; so they were in custody for a while.
⁵ Then the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, had a dream, both of them, each man’s dream in one night and each man’s dream with its own interpretation.
⁶ And Joseph came in to them in the morning and looked at them, and saw that they were sad.
⁷ So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in the custody of his lord’s house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?"
