"Me" and Joseph

Comments, please.

Joseph reported his dream correctly to his family, but he emphasized "me." Although he was Jacob's favorite, Jacob was annoyed because Joseph emphasized himself. Later, in prison, Joseph correctly interpreted the butler's dream, but focused on getting "me" out of prison.

Two years later, God did get Joseph out of prison, and when he had interpreted Pharaoh's dream, Joseph told him to seek out a wise man, but he didn't say "me." Decades later, when his brothers feared that he would take revenge on them, Joseph assured them that their sinful actions had not focused on "me," but on God's ultimate plan.
