Genesis 40:1-10 Amplified Bible (AMP)

1. NOW SOME time later the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, Egypt's king.

2. And Pharaoh was angry with his officers, the chief of the butlers and the chief of the bakers.

3. He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined.

4. And the captain of the guard put them in Joseph's charge, and he served them; and they continued in custody for some time.

5. And they both dreamed a dream in the same night, each man according to [the personal significance of] the interpretation of his dream–the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison.

6. When Joseph came to them in the morning and looked at them, he saw that they were sad and depressed.

7. So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were in custody with him in his master's house, Why do you look so dejected and sad today?

8. And they said to him, We have dreamed dreams, and there is no one to interpret them. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me [your dreams], I pray you.

9. And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph and said to him, In my dream I saw a vine before me,

10. And on the vine were three branches. Then it was as though it budded; its blossoms burst forth and the clusters of them brought forth ripe grapes [almost all at once].
