Genesis 40:1-23

(1)  Some time after this, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker committed an offense against their lord the king of Egypt.

(2)  And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,

(3)  and he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined.

(4)  The captain of the guard appointed Joseph to be with them, and he attended them. They continued for some time in custody.

(5)  And one night they both dreamed--the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison--each his own dream, and each dream with its own interpretation.

(6)  When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were troubled.

(7)  So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, "Why are your faces downcast today?"

(8)  They said to him, "We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them." And Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me."

(9)  So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph and said to him, "In my dream there was a vine before me,

(10)  and on the vine there were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes.

(11)  Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup and placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand."

(12)  Then Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.

(13)  In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you shall place Pharaoh's cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his cupbearer.

(14)  Only remember me, when it is well with you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh, and so get me out of this house.

(15)  For I was indeed stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the pit."

(16)  When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, "I also had a dream: there were three cake baskets on my head,

(17)  and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head."

(18)  And Joseph answered and said, "This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.

(19)  In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head--from you!--and hang you on a tree. And the birds will eat the flesh from you."

(20)  On the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, he made a feast for all his servants and lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

(21)  He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand.

(22)  But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

(23)  Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.

Galatians 6:1-18

(1)  Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.

(2)  Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

(3)  For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

(4)  But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.

(5)  For each will have to bear his own load.

(6)  One who is taught the word must share all good things with the one who teaches.

(7)  Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.

(8)  For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

(9)  And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

(10)  So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

(11)  See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.

(12)  It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

(13)  For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

(14)  But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

(15)  For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

(16)  And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

(17)  From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

(18)  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
