"And he said to the servants of Pharaoh who were in prison with him, Why are you looking so sad?"
— Genesis 40:7, Bible in Basic English
“He asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?"”
And the captain put them in Joseph's care, and he did what was needed for them; and they were kept in prison for some time.
And these two had a dream on the same night; the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker of the king of Egypt, who were in prison, the two of them had dreams with a special sense.
And in the morning when Joseph came to them he saw that they were looking sad.
And he said to the servants of Pharaoh who were in prison with him, Why are you looking so sad?
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?
Then the chief wine-servant gave Joseph an account of his dream, and said, In my dream I saw a vine before me;
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.
