Torah — Genesis 39:1 - 39:6

39:1 Joseph in Potiphar’s House Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, a court official of Pharaoh, commander of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.

39:2 And Yahweh was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.

39:3 And his master observed that Yahweh was with him, and everything that was in his hand to do Yahweh made successful.

39:4 And Joseph found favor in his eyes and he served him. Then he appointed him over his house and all that he owned he put into his hand.

39:5 And it happened that from the time he appointed him over his house and over all that he had, Yahweh blessed the house of the Egyptian on account of Joseph. And the blessing of Yahweh was upon all that he had in the house and in the field.

39:6 And he left all that he had in the hand of Joseph, and he did not worry about anything except the food that he ate. Now Joseph was well built and handsome.

Gospel — John 14:15 - 24

14:15 Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, in order that he may be with you forever—

14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see him or know him. You know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.

14:18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.

14:19 Yet a little time and the world will see me no longer, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live.

14:20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

14:21 The one who has my commandments and keeps them—that one is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him.”

14:22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, why is it that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”

14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and will take up residence with him.

14:24 The one who does not love me does not keep my words, and the word that you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.

14:15 The Father Will Send the Holy Spirit “If you love me, you will obey what I command.

14:16 I will ask the Father. And he will give you another Friend to help you and to be with you forever.

14:17 The Friend is the Spirit of truth. The world can’t accept him. That is because the world does not see him or know him. But you know him. He lives with you, and he will be in you.

14:18 “I will not leave you like children who don’t have parents. I will come to you.

14:19 “Before long, the world will not see me anymore. But you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.

14:20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father. You will know that you are in me, and I am in you.

14:21 “Anyone who has my commands and obeys them loves me. My Father will love the one who loves me. I too will love him. And I will show myself to him.”

14:22 Then Judas spoke. “Lord,” he said, “why do you plan to show yourself only to us? Why not also to the world?” The Judas who spoke those words was not Judas Iscariot.

14:23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love him. We will come to him and make our home with him.

14:24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. The words you hear me say are not my own. They belong to the Father who sent me.
