and after some time his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, "Sleep with me."Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-02

Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
3
and imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was confined.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
4
The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he became their personal attendant. After they had been in custody for some time,Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
5
both of these men—the Egyptian king's cupbearer and baker, who were being held in the prison—had a dream on the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
7
So he asked the officials of Pharaoh who were in custody with him in his master's house, "Why are your faces so downcast today?"Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
9
So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream: "In my dream there was a vine before me,Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
10
and on the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
11
Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into his cup, and placed the cup in his hand."Read from ESV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
12
Joseph replied, "This is the interpretation: The three branches are three days.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
13
Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore your position. You will put Pharaoh's cup in his hand, just as you did when you were his cupbearer.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
14
But when it goes well for you, please remember me and show me kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh, that he might bring me out of this prison.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
15
For I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing for which they should have put me in this dungeon."Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
16
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, "I too had a dream: There were three baskets of white bread on my head.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
17
In the top basket were all sorts of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head."Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
18
Joseph replied, "This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
19
Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and hang you on a tree. Then the birds will eat the flesh of your body."Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
20
On the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, he held a feast for all his officials, and in their presence he lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
21
Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
22
But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had described to them in his interpretation.Read from ESV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
23
The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot all about him.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
Genesis 41
1
After two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
2
when seven cows, sleek and well-fed, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
3
After them, seven other cows, sickly and thin, came up from the Nile and stood beside the well-fed cows on the bank of the river.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
4
And the cows that were sickly and thin devoured the seven sleek, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
5
but he fell back asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
6
After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the east wind.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
7
And the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
8
In the morning his spirit was troubled, so he summoned all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
9
Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, "Today I recall my failures.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
10
Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the captain of the guard.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-03
38
So Pharaoh asked them, "Can we find anyone like this man, in whom the Spirit of God abides?"Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
39
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
40
You shall be in charge of my house, and all my people are to obey your commands. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you."Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
41
Pharaoh also told Joseph, "I hereby place you over all the land of Egypt."Read from NASB1995 · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
42
Then Pharaoh removed the signet ring from his finger, put it on Joseph's finger, clothed him in garments of fine linen, and placed a gold chain around his neck.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
43
He had Joseph ride in his second chariot, with men calling out before him, "Bow the knee!" So he placed him over all the land of Egypt.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
44
And Pharaoh declared to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, but without your permission, no one in all the land of Egypt shall lift his hand or foot."Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
46
Now Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph left Pharaoh's presence and traveled throughout the land of Egypt.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
47
During the seven years of abundance, the land brought forth bountifully.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
48
During those seven years, Joseph collected all the excess food in the land of Egypt and stored it in the cities. In every city he laid up the food from the fields around it.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
49
So Joseph stored up grain in such abundance, like the sand of the sea, that he stopped keeping track of it; for it was beyond measure.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
50
Before the years of famine arrived, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
51
Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, "God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father's household."Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
52
And the second son he named Ephraim, saying, "God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
53
When the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end,Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
54
the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. And although there was famine in every country, there was food throughout the land of Egypt.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
55
When extreme hunger came to all the land of Egypt and the people cried out to Pharaoh for food, he told all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you."Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
56
When the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened up all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians; for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04
57
And every nation came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-04

1
When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, "Why are you staring at one another?"Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
2
"Look," he added, "I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, so that we may live and not die."Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
3
So ten of Joseph's brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
4
But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, "I am afraid that harm might befall him."Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
5
So the sons of Israel were among those who came to buy grain, since the famine had also spread to the land of Canaan.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
6
Now Joseph was the ruler of the land; he was the one who sold grain to all its people. So when his brothers arrived, they bowed down before him with their faces to the ground.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
7
And when Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he treated them as strangers and spoke harshly to them. "Where have you come from?" he asked. "From the land of Canaan," they replied. "We are here to buy food."Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
8
Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
9
Joseph remembered his dreams about them and said, "You are spies! You have come to see if our land is vulnerable."Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
10
"Not so, my lord," they replied. "Your servants have come to buy food.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
11
We are all sons of one man. Your servants are honest men, not spies."Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
12
"No," he told them. "You have come to see if our land is vulnerable."Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
13
But they answered, "Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is now with our father, and one is no more."Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
14
Then Joseph declared, "Just as I said, you are spies!Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
15
And this is how you will be tested: As surely as Pharaoh lives, you shall not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
16
Send one of your number to get your brother; the rest of you will be confined so that the truth of your words may be tested. If they are untrue, then as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!"Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
18
and on the third day he said to them, "I fear God. So do this and you will live:Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
19
If you are honest, leave one of your brothers in custody while the rest of you go and take back grain to relieve the hunger of your households.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
20
Then bring your youngest brother to me so that your words can be verified, that you may not die." And to this they consented.Read from ESV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
21
Then they said to one another, "Surely we are being punished because of our brother. We saw his anguish when he pleaded with us, but we would not listen. That is why this distress has come upon us."Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
22
And Reuben responded, "Didn't I tell you not to sin against the boy? But you would not listen. Now we must account for his blood!"Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05

They did not realize that Joseph understood them, since there was an interpreter between them.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05

At the place where they lodged for the night, one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey, and he saw his silver in the mouth of the sack.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
28
"My silver has been returned!" he said to his brothers. "It is here in my sack." Their hearts sank, and trembling, they turned to one another and said, "What is this that God has done to us?"Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05

As they began emptying their sacks, there in each man's sack was his bag of silver! And when they and their father saw the bags of silver, they were dismayed.Read from NKJV · Joseph Reminds Me of Jesus-05
