Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt. Potiphar bought Joseph and eventually Joseph found favor with his master and was put in charge of his household. But Potiphar's wife had eyes for the young strong man trying to entice him to go to bed with her. Finally one day Potiphar's wife grabbed Joseph but he pulled away from her and she accused him of rape. And so Potiphar had him placed in prison. Joseph knew that it would have been a sin to go to bed with another man's wife so He refused even though it cost him prison time.
