Genesis 40:5-14

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.’

9So the king's cupbearer told Joseph his dream. He said, ‘In my dream I saw a vine in front of me.

10There were three branches on it. New leaves came on the branches, and then flowers came. After that, there were grapes which became ripe.

11Pharaoh's cup was in my hand. I took the grapes and I squeezed them. Then I put the juice into the cup and I gave the cup to Pharaoh.’

12Joseph said, ‘This is what your dream means. The three branches tell us about three days.

13In three days, Pharaoh will lift up your head and he will make you his officer again. You will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand, as you did before.

14But when these good things happen to you, remember to be kind to me. Tell Pharaoh about me so that I will get out of this prison.
