Christ the "Butler"?

that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.
And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.....And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream,...And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph,...
And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it:
The three branches are three days:
Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, {Christ was raised up after 3 days}
and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand,
after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness,
I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, {The thief on the cross said "Remember Me" to Christ}
and bring me out of this house:
And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed:.
..Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, {Christ intercedes for His people}
saying,..And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams;...Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon:
