1 And it came to passe after these thynges, that the butler of ye king of Egypt and his baker, had offended their lorde the kyng of Egypt.

2 And Pharao was angry agaynst his two officers, agaynst the chiefe butler and the chiefe baker.

3 And put them in warde in his chiefe stewardes house, euen in the prison and place where Ioseph was bounde.

4 And the chiefe steward gaue Ioseph a charge with them, & he serued them: and they continued a season in warde.

5 And they dreamed eyther of them in one night, both the butler and the baker of the kyng of Egypt, whiche were bounde in the pryson house, eyther of them his dreame, & eche mans dreame of a sundry interpretation.

6 When Ioseph came in vnto them in the mornyng, and loked vpon them, beholde they were sadde.

7 And he asked Pharaos chiefe officers that were with hym in his maisters warde, saying: Wherfore loke ye so sadlye to day?

8 They aunswered him: We haue dreamed a dreame, and haue no man to declare it. And Ioseph sayde vnto them: do not interpretinges belong to God? tell me I pray you.
