After the banquet, Joseph told his steward to fill the bags of his brothers, but put back the money they used to pay, and put Joseph's cup into Benjamin's sack. When the brothers took off. Joseph had his steward chase them back accusing them of stealing his cup. The brothers denied it, and said if the cup was found in anyone's sack, then they would all become slaves to Joseph. They found the cup in Benjamin's sack. They then went back to Joseph. Joseph asked the brothers to leave for Canaan while Bejamin stayed there with him. Judah told Joseph that they could not go back, because if Bejamin, the only son left from Rebekah, didn't go back with them, Jacob would die fro grief. He asked to replace Bejamin with himself.

Mark 15:
The chief priests and teachers of the law handed Jesus over to Pilate, Pilate asked Jesus if he was the king of the jews, and Jesus answered yes. Pilate asked Jesus some other questions conscerning the "crime", Jesus didn't say a word. It was that time of the year when Pilate release a prisoner to the people. Being stirred by thte teachers of the law, the people all wanted Barabbas and wanted Jesus to be crucified. Pilate asked what crime had he committed that deserved to be crucified, but they only shouted louder.
The soldiers took Jesus away, and they mocked him. They put on a purple robe on him, and twisted together thorns as his crown. They spat on him. After they were done, they put his own cloths back on and took him out.
A man was travelling on the way, and the troop forced him to carry the cross for Jesus, They took him to the skull place. They crucified Jesus in the afternoon at 3. On the board that announced the charge said King of the Jews. People mocked him saying that though he saved a lot of people, he couldn't save himself.
At 6, darkness came till the ninth hour, and Jesus cried out:" my God my God, why have your forsaken me?" Then he died. The centurion saw this and said that he was really the son of God. There were women watching from a distance. On saturday, Joseph, a man who was waiting and seeking for God, asked Pilate if he could have the body of Christ, and after checking that Jesus was really dead, Pilate agreed.
Joseph then took Jesus' body, wrapped it and put him in a cave. The women saw where he was laid.
