Genesis 39:17 in context

The verses around it, from Genesis 39.

13 When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,

14 she called her household servants. “Look,” she said, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, but I screamed as loud as I could.

15 When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

16 So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.

17 Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,

18 but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

19 When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.

20 So Joseph’s master took him and had him thrown into the prison where the king’s prisoners were confined. While Joseph was there in the prison,

21 the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
