In context
14 Only remember me when it shall be well with thee, and do me this kindness: to put Pharao in mind to take me out of this prison:
15 For I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here without any fault was cast into the dungeon.
16 The chief baker seeing that he had wisely interpreted the dream, said: I also dreamed a dream, That I had three baskets of meal upon my head:
17 And that in one basket which was uppermost, I carried all meats that are made by the art of baking, and that the birds ate out of it.
18 Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets, are yet three days:
19 After which Pharao will take thy head from thee, and hang thee on a cross, and the birds shall tear thy flesh.
20 The third day after this was the birthday of Pharao: and he made a great feast for his servants, and at the banquet remembered the chief butler, and the chief baker.
