Best Answer

Yes. As it says so in The Bible, as Joseph's brothers were going to ask the leader for food, they did not realise that the leader was Joseph, their brother! And when Joseph was being mean to them, he gave up and told them that it was him their brother. And then he forgave his brothers.

Additional Information:

One of the reasons Joseph forgave his brothers was because he realized that his being sold to Egypt had been God's will for the preservation of the nation of Israel during a seven year famine(Genesis 45:2-15). But before he forgave, he tested his brothers to be sure they had changed their selfish jealous attitude over the years.(Genesis 41:57-45:1)

Joseph not only filled their sacks with grain but also returned their money to them in the mouth of each one's sack. Additionally, he gave them provisions for their journey. (Genesis 42:25-35)

How does Jesus calls us to go beyond Joseph’s example?

Jesus calls us to be forgiving. Joseph took revenge on his brothers and caused his father pain. But in the end Joseph could forgive his brothers because he trusted God. This trust helped him know that God would bring good out of all that had happened.


Did Joseph at first accept willingly what they did to him?

No, he didn't.He still couldn't completely forgive his brothers until he met them and told them that he was their brother, Joseph. When he told his brothers to hand Benjamin to him, his brothers didn't wanted to, so Joseph got angry as they sold him. But he eventually did.Answer:The verses state explicitly that Joseph begged his brothers not to mistreat him (Genesis 42:21), which makes it clear that he did not accept willingly what they did to him (in Genesis ch.37). However, he did forgive them completely (Genesis ch.45-46, and ch.50). Note that the accusation he made in Gen. ch.42 was not because of a lack of forgiveness. Rather, he wanted to make them consider their mistakes and repent to God.
