Genesis 40:1-8

1Some time later, two of the king's officers made him angry. One of them was the king's cupbearer. The other was the king's baker.

2Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, both the cupbearer and the baker.

3Pharaoh put them in the same prison that Joseph was in. That was in the house of the captain of the king's guards.

4They were in the prison for a long time. The captain of the guards made Joseph their servant, to help them.

5One night, both of the king's officers had a dream. Each dream had its own meaning.

6When Joseph came to them the next morning, he saw that they were upset.

7So Joseph asked the two officers, ‘What are you sad about?’

8They replied, ‘We both had dreams last night, but there is nobody to tell us what they mean.’ Joseph said, ‘Only God can tell you the meaning of dreams. Tell your dreams to me.’
