* And it came to pass after these things , [that ] the butler of the king of Egypt and [his ] baker had sinned against their lord , the king of Egypt . * And Pharaoh was angry against his two officers , against the chief of the butlers and against the chief of the bakers . * And he put them in prison in the house of the captain of the guard , into the house of the prison where Joseph [was ] bound . * And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them , and he served them ; and they continued for days in prison . * And both of them dreamed a dream , each man his dream in the same night , each man according to the interpretation of his dream , the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt , who [were ] bound in the prison . * And Joseph came in unto them in the morning and looked upon them , and , behold , they [were ] sad . * And he asked Pharaoh 's officers that [were ] with him in the prison of his lord 's house , saying , Why look ye so sad today ? * And they said unto him , We have dreamed a dream , and [there is ] no interpreter of it . And Joseph said unto them , [Do ] not interpretations [belong ] to God ? Tell me [the dreams ], I pray you . * Then the chief butler told his dream to Joseph and said to him , In my dream , behold , a vine [was ] before me , * and in the vine [were ] three branches , and it [was ] as though it budded [and ] her blossoms shot forth , and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes ; * and Pharaoh 's cup [was ] in my hand , and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh 's cup , and I gave the cup into Pharaoh 's hand . * And Joseph said unto him , This [is ] the interpretation of it : The three branches [are ] three days ; * yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head and restore thee unto thy place , and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh 's cup into his hand after the former manner when thou wast his butler . * Therefore thou shalt think of me within thyself when it shall be well with thee , and show mercy , I pray thee , unto me , and make mention of me unto Pharaoh and bring me out of this house ; * for indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews ; neither have I done anything here that they should put me into the prison . * When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good , he said unto Joseph , I also [was ] in my dream , and , behold , [I had ] three white baskets on my head ; * and in the uppermost basket [there was ] of all manner of baked foods for Pharaoh , and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head . * Then Joseph answered and said , This [is ] the interpretation thereof : The three baskets [are ] three days . * Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee and shall hang thee on a tree , and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee . * And it came to pass the third day , [which was ] Pharaoh 's birthday , that he made a banquet unto all his servants , and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants . * And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again , and he gave the cup into Pharaoh 's hand . * But he hanged the chief baker ; as Joseph had interpreted to them . * Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph but forgot him .:
