5. One night both of the prisoners had a dream. The baker and the wine server each had his own dream, and each dream had its own meaning.
6. Joseph went to them the next morning and saw that the two men were worried.
7. He asked them, “Why do you look so worried today?”
8. The two men answered, “We both had dreams last night, but we don’t understand what we dreamed. There is no one to explain the dreams to us.” Joseph said to them, “God is the only one who can understand and explain dreams. So I beg you, tell me your dreams.”
9. So the wine server told Joseph his dream. The server said, “I dreamed I saw a vine.
10. On the vine there were three branches. I watched the branches grow flowers and then become grapes.
11. I was holding Pharaoh’s cup, so I took the grapes and squeezed the juice into the cup. Then I gave the cup to Pharaoh.”
12. Then Joseph said, “I will explain the dream to you. The three branches mean three days.
13. Before the end of three days, Pharaoh will forgive you and allow you to go back to your work. You will do the same work for Pharaoh as you did before.
14. But when you are free, remember me. Be good to me and help me. Tell Pharaoh about me so that I can get out of this prison.
