Arrested

Description
Joseph is seized and marched away by Egyptian guards after the false accusation of Potiphar’s wife. The soldiers grip him firmly as they carry spears and weapons through an Egyptian courtyard, while the accusing woman stands behind them at the doorway with an urgent gesture. The scene reflects the crisis in Genesis 39, where Joseph refuses sexual sin, leaves his garment behind, and is unjustly condemned. His arrest becomes part of God’s hidden providence: what appears to be disgrace and imprisonment becomes the road toward Joseph’s future service in Egypt. This artwork suits teaching on integrity, temptation, false accusation, suffering, and God’s faithfulness when righteousness is costly.
