Joseph Reassures His Brothers

\n

15 When Joseph\u2019s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, \u201cWhat if Joseph holds a grudge against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?\u201d\xa016 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, \u201cYour father left these instructions before he died:\xa017 \u2018This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.\u2019 Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father.\u201d When their message came to him, Joseph wept. 18 His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. \u201cWe are your slaves,\u201d they said. 19 But Joseph said to them, \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?\xa020 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.\xa021 So then, don\u2019t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.\u201d And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.
