All Bible passages about the episode “Joseph and Potiphar’s Wife”.
Genesis 39
1 Joseph had been taken to Egypt, where the Egyptian Potiphar, Pharaoh’s officer and captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.
two The Lord was with Joseph, so that he prospered and lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
José was attractive and good-looking,
3 When he realized that the Lord was with him and that he made him prosper in everything he did,
4 he pleased with Joseph and made him administrator of his property. Potiphar left his house in his care and entrusted him with everything he owned.
5 Since leaving him to take care of his house and all his possessions, the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house because of Joseph. The Lord’s blessing was on everything that Potiphar owned, both in the house and in the field.
6 So he left everything he had in Joseph’s care, and he didn’t worry about anything except his own food.
7 and, after a while, his master’s wife began to lust after him and invited him: Come, sleep with me!
8 But he refused and said to him: My lord does not care about anything in his house, and everything he has he has left in my care.
9 No one in this house is above me. He denied me nothing, except you, because she is his wife. How could I, then, commit something so wicked and sin against God?
10 So, although she insisted on Joseph day after day, he refused to sleep with her and avoided being near her.
11 One day he entered the house to do his chores, and none of the employees were there.
12 She grabbed him by the cloak and invited him again: Come on, lie down with me! But he fled from the house, leaving the cloak in her hand.
13 When she saw that, as he fled, he had left the cloak in her hand,
14 He called the servants and said to them: Look, this Hebrew has been brought to us to insult us! He came in here and tried to abuse me, but I screamed.
15 When he heard me scream for help, he dropped his cloak beside me and fled the house.
16 She kept the cloak with her until José’s master arrived at the house.
17 Then he repeated the story: That Hebrew slave you brought us approached me to insult me.
18 But when I screamed for help, he dropped his cloak beside me and ran away.
19 When his master heard what his wife said to him: This is how your slave treated me, he was indignant.
20 He sent for Joseph and threw him into the prison where the king’s prisoners were placed. Joseph was in prison,
21 but the Lord was with him and treated him kindly, granting him the sympathy of the jailer.
22 That’s why the jailer put Joseph in charge of everyone in the prison, and he became responsible for everything that happened there.
23 The jailer did not worry about anything that was in Joseph’s charge, because the Lord was with Joseph and granted him good success in everything he did.
