11. One day Joseph went into the house to do his work as usual. He was the only man in the house at that time.
12. His master’s wife grabbed his coat. She said to him, “Come and have physical relations with me.” But Joseph left his coat in her hand and ran out of the house.
13. She saw what Joseph had done. He had left his coat in her hands and had run outside.
14. So she called to the servants in her house. She said, “Look! This Hebrew slave was brought here to shame us. He came in and tried to have physical 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 her husband 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 prison. This prison was 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. The Lord caused the prison warden to like Joseph.
22. The prison warden chose Joseph to take care of all the prisoners. He was responsible for whatever was done in the prison.
23. The warden paid no attention to anything that was in Joseph’s care. This was because the Lord was with Joseph. The Lord made Joseph successful in everything he did.
