我乃被掠、出自希伯來境、在此未作關於繫獄之事、

A young Hebrew servant was there with us. He was a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams. And he explained them to us. He told each of us the meaning of our dreams.

Look, my father! Look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut off the corner of your robe. But I didn’t kill you. See, there is nothing in my hand that shows I am guilty of doing anything wrong. I haven’t turned against you. I haven’t done anything to harm you. But you are hunting me down. You want to kill me.

God may want you to suffer for doing good. That’s better than suffering for doing evil.Christ also suffered once for sins. The one who did what is right suffered for those who don’t do right. He suffered to bring you to God. His body was put to death. But the Holy Spirit brought him back to life.

Paul answered,“ I’m already standing in Caesar’s court. This is where I should go on trial. I haven’t done anything wrong to the Jews. You yourself know that very well.If I am guilty of anything worthy of death, I’m willing to die. But the charges brought against me by these Jews are not true. No one has the right to hand me over to them. I make my appeal to Caesar!”

But he refused.“ My master has put me in charge,” he told her.“ Now he doesn’t have to worry about anything in the house. He trusts me to take care of everything he owns.No one in this house is in a higher position than I am. My master hasn’t held anything back from me, except you. You are his wife. So how could I do an evil thing like that? How could I sin against God?”She spoke to Joseph day after day. But he told her he wouldn’t go to bed with her. He didn’t even want to be with her.One day Joseph went into the house to take care of his duties. None of the family servants was inside.Potiphar’s wife grabbed him by his coat.“ Come to bed with me!” she said. But he left his coat in her hand. And he ran out of the house.

See how they hide and wait for me! Lord, angry people plan to harm me, even though I haven’t hurt them in any way or sinned against them.I haven’t done anything wrong to them. But they are ready to attack me. Rise up and help me! Look at what I’m up against!

A man escaped and came to report everything to Abram. Abram was a Hebrew. He was living near the large trees of Mamre the Amorite. Mamre was a brother of Eshkol and Aner. All of them helped Abram.

“ Anyone who kidnaps and sells another person must be put to death. If they still have the person with them when they are caught, they must be put to death.

Judah said to his brothers,“ What will we gain if we kill our brother and try to cover up what we’ve done?Come. Let’s sell him to these traders. Let’s not harm him ourselves. After all, he’s our brother. He’s our own flesh and blood.” Judah’s brothers agreed with him.The traders from Midian came by. Joseph’s brothers pulled him up out of the well. They sold him to the Ishmaelite traders for eight ounces of silver. Then the traders took him to Egypt.

It is for those who commit sexual sins. It is for those who commit homosexual acts. It is for people who buy and sell slaves. It is for liars. It is for people who tell lies in court. It is for those who are a witness to things that aren’t true. And it is for anything else that is the opposite of true teaching.

Those bringing charges against me did not find me arguing with anyone at the temple. I wasn’t stirring up a crowd in the synagogues or anywhere else in the city.They can’t prove to you any of the charges they are making against me.It is true that I worship the God of our people. I am a follower of the Way of Jesus. Those bringing charges against me call it a cult. I believe everything that is in keeping with the Law. I believe everything that is in keeping with what is written in the Prophets.I have the same hope in God that these men themselves have. I believe that both the godly and the ungodly will rise from the dead.So I always try not to do anything wrong in the eyes of God or in the eyes of people.“ I was away for several years. Then I came to Jerusalem to bring my people gifts for those who were poor. I also came to offer sacrifices.They found me doing this in the temple courtyard. I had already been made pure and‘ clean’ in the usual way. There was no crowd with me. I didn’t stir up any trouble.But there are some other Jews who should be here in front of you. They are from Asia Minor. They should bring charges if they have anything against me.Let the Jews who are here tell you what crime I am guilty of. After all, I was put on trial by the Sanhedrin.Perhaps they blame me for what I said when I was on trial. I shouted,‘ I believe that people will rise from the dead. That is why I am on trial here today.’ ”

But Jesus said to them,“ I have shown you many good works from the Father. Which good work are you throwing stones at me for?”

Suppose someone is caught kidnapping another Israelite. And they sell or treat that person as a slave. Then the kidnapper must die. Get rid of that evil person.

My God sent his angel. And his angel shut the mouths of the lions. They haven’t hurt me at all. That’s because I haven’t done anything wrong in God’s sight. I’ve never done anything wrong to you either, Your Majesty.”

This has happened so that what is written in their Law would come true. It says,‘ They hated me without any reason.’( Psalms 35:19; 69:4)
