2.  "He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said."

3.  "When Jospeh was taken to Egypt by the Ishmaelites traders, he was purchased by Potiphar, an Egyptian officer.  Potiphar was captain of the guard for Pharaoh, the king of Egypt.  The LORD was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master."

5.  "Potiphar noticed this and realized that the LORD was with Joseph, giving him success in everything he did."

6.  "But it was the LORD'S good plan to crush him and cause him grief.  Yet when his life is made an offering for sin, he will have many descendants.  He will enjoy a long life, and the LORD'S good plan will prosper in his hands."

9.  "Then she told him her story.  "That Hebrew slave you've brought into our house tried to come in and fool around with me," she said.  But when I screamed, he ran outside, leaving his cloak with me!"

10.  "But even though they found many who agreed to give false witness, they could not use anyone's testimony.  Finally, two men came forward who declared, "This man said, "I am able to destroy the Temple of God and rebuild it in three days!"
