Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Genesis 39
²¹ But the LORD was with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love. And the LORD made Joseph a favorite with the prison warden.
²² Before long, the warden put Joseph in charge of all the other prisoners and over everything that happened in the prison.
²³ The warden had no more worries, because Joseph took care of everything. The LORD was with him and caused everything he did to succeed.
Genesis 40
¹ Some time later, Pharaoh’s chief cup-bearer and chief baker offended their royal master.
² Pharaoh became angry with these two officials,
³ and he put them in the prison where Joseph was, in the palace of the captain of the guard.
⁴ They remained in prison for quite some time, and the captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, who looked after them.
⁵ While they were in prison, Pharaoh’s cup-bearer and baker each had a dream one night, and each dream had its own meaning.
⁶ When Joseph saw them the next morning, he noticed that they both looked upset.
⁷ “Why do you look so worried today?” he asked them.
⁸ And they replied, “We both had dreams last night, but no one can tell us what they mean.” “Interpreting dreams is God’s business,” Joseph replied. “Go ahead and tell me your dreams.”
