5. One night each of the two men had a dream, but their dreams had different meanings.
6. The next morning, when Joseph went to see the men, he could tell they were upset,
7. and he asked, “Why are you so worried today?”
8. “We each had a dream last night,” they answered, “and there is no one to tell us what they mean.”Joseph replied, “Doesn't God know the meaning of dreams? Now tell me what you dreamed.”
9. The king's personal servant told Joseph, “In my dream I saw a vine
10. with three branches. As soon as it budded, it blossomed, and its grapes became ripe.
11. I held the king's cup and squeezed the grapes into it, then I gave the cup to the king.”
12. Joseph said:This is the meaning of your dream. The three branches stand for three days,
13. and in three days the king will pardon you. He will make you his personal servant again, and you will serve him his wine, just as you used to do.
14. But when these good things happen, please don't forget to tell the king about me, so I can get out of this place.
