Genesis 39:11-18

11One day Joseph went into the house to do his work. None of the other servants were there in the house.

12Potiphar's wife suddenly took hold of Joseph's coat. She said, ‘Come to bed with me!’ Joseph left his coat in her hand and he ran out of the house.

13Potiphar's wife saw that Joseph had left his coat in her hand. She saw that he had run out of the house.

14So she called her servants to come. She said to them, ‘Look at this! The Hebrew man that Potiphar brought to work here does not respect us! He came in here and he tried to have sex with me. But I screamed loudly.

15When he heard me scream like that, he ran out of the house. But he left his coat here with me.’

16Potiphar's wife kept the coat beside her until Joseph's master, Potiphar, came home.

17Then she told him this story: ‘The Hebrew slave that you brought to us tried to insult me. He wanted to sleep with me.

18But I screamed loudly for help. So he left his coat with me and he ran out of the house.’
