Many Bible scholars contrast the circumstances of Joseph's life to

that of Christ's. He was sold by his own people into slavery. He

was cast into prison to his humiliation. According to his statement

one prisoner was greatly favored, the other suffered death. On the

cross Jesus spoke one malefactor into paradise; the other died in

his sins. Joseph rose from humiliation to exaltation; From His humility

and death and the grave Jesus rose in the glory of His resurrection.
