11. One day Joseph went into the house to do his work as usual and was the only man in the house at that time.
12. His master’s wife grabbed his coat and said to him, “Come and have sexual relations with me.” But Joseph left his coat in her hand and ran out of the house.
13. When she saw that Joseph had left his coat in her hands and had run outside,
14. she called to the servants in her house and said, “Look! This Hebrew slave was brought here to shame us. He came in and tried to have sexual relations with me, but I screamed.
15. My scream scared him and he ran away, but he left his coat with me.”
16. She kept his coat until her husband came home,
17. and she told him the same story. She said, “This Hebrew slave you brought here came in to shame me!
18. When he came near me, I screamed. He ran away, but he left his coat.”
19. When Joseph’s master heard what his wife said Joseph had done, he became very angry.
20. So Potiphar arrested Joseph and put him into the prison where the king’s prisoners were put. And Joseph stayed there in the prison.
21. But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him kindness and caused the prison warden to like Joseph.
