Gen 40:4 | MHM | STEP | v. 4 : The captain of the guard, who was Potiphar, made Joseph responsible for taking care of the butler and baker ( v. 4 ). This may show that Potiphar was starting to believe in Joseph’s innocence, but he was still afraid to let him go because of his wife. Joseph served the men while they were in prison for a time. This is similar to how John the Baptist suffered because of someone else’s anger (Matthew 14:3-10 ).
