The Father loves his Son and has put everything in his power.

The disciples looked at one another, completely puzzled about whom he meant.

One of the disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was sitting next to Jesus.

We answered, 'We have a father who is old and a younger brother, born to him in his old age. The boy's brother is dead, and he is the only one of his mother's children still alive; his father loves him very much.'

and we answered that the boy could not leave his father; if he did, his father would die.

"When we went back to our father, we told him what you had said.

We answered, 'We cannot go; we will not be admitted to the man's presence unless our youngest brother is with us. We can go only if our youngest brother goes also.'

One of them has already left me. He must have been torn to pieces by wild animals, because I have not seen him since he left.

"And now, sir," Judah continued, "if I go back to my father without the boy, as soon as he sees that the boy is not with me, he will die. His life is wrapped up with the life of the boy, and he is so old that the sorrow we would cause him would kill him.

When Joseph came up to his brothers, they ripped off his long robe with full sleeves.

They took the robe to their father and said, "We found this. Does it belong to your son?"

"They are only finding things to capture and divide, a woman or two for every soldier, rich cloth for Sisera, embroidered pieces for the neck of the queen."

The servant put her out and locked the door. Tamar was wearing a long robe with full sleeves, the usual clothing for an unmarried princess in those days.

The princess is in the palace---how beautiful she is! Her gown is made of gold thread.

In her colorful gown she is led to the king, followed by her bridesmaids, and they also are brought to him.

You used some of your clothes to decorate your places of worship, and just like a prostitute, you gave yourself to everyone.
