Texts:
Genesis 39 and 40
Matthew 14
Genesis 39 and 40
While this is the story of Joseph, notice that it is really about God. God causes Joseph to prosper. God gives Joseph favor. Don't read this text as a model of "If I just behave like Joseph, I will prosper." This isn't about Joseph's awesome-ness, but God's.
Dreams--Joseph's earlier dreams got him in trouble with his brothers. Now his interpretation of dreams will get him out of trouble. How do dreams function here?
Matthew 14:
Death of John the Baptist--compare to Mark 6:14-29 and Luke 9:7-9. What do you notice as the similarities and differences?
John Calvin reads his Bible too.
