15. My scream scared him and he ran away, but he left his coat with me.”
16. Then she kept his coat until her husband, Joseph’s master, came home.
17. She told her husband the same story. She said, “This Hebrew slave you brought here tried to attack me!
18. But when he came near me, I screamed. He ran away, but he left his coat.”
19. Joseph’s master listened to what his wife said, and he became very angry.
20. So Potiphar put Joseph into the prison where the king’s enemies were held, and that is where Joseph remained.
21. The Lord was with Joseph and continued to show his kindness to him, so the commander of the prison guards began to like Joseph.
22. The commander of the guards put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners. Joseph was their leader, but he still did the same work they did.
23. The commander of the guards trusted Joseph with everything that was in the prison. This happened because the Lord was with Joseph. The Lord helped Joseph be successful in everything he did.
