    6 And in the morning when Joseph came to them he saw that they were looking sad.

    7 And he said to the servants of Pharaoh who were in prison with him, Why are you looking so sad?

    8 Then they said to him, We have had a dream, and no one is able to give us the sense. And Joseph said, Does not the sense of dreams come from God? what was your dream?

    9 Then the chief wine-servant gave Joseph an account of his dream, and said, In my dream I saw a vine before me;

    10 And on the vine were three branches; and it seemed as if it put out buds and flowers, and from them came grapes ready for cutting.

    11 And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and crushing them into Pharaoh's cup, gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

    12 Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: the three branches are three days;

    13 After three days Pharaoh will give you honour, and put you back into your place, and you will give him his cup as you did before, when you were his wine-servant.
