Marcos 10:39 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:39

And they said unto him we can
That is, drink of Christ's cup and be baptized with his baptism which is another instance of their ignorance; for as they knew not the glorious state of things and the nature of it they desired places in so they were unacquainted with themselves; they were ignorant of their own weakness as well as of the greatness of the sufferings Christ should endure or even they should be called unto: had they had a just notion of either, they would not have expressed themselves in this manner without any mention of the grace of God or any dependence on the strength of Christ; (See Gill on Matthew 20:22).

And Jesus said unto them, ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I
drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be
baptized;
meaning, not that they should undergo the same sufferings he did and much less for the same end and purpose: he trod the winepress alone and bore the whole punishment due to the sins of his people himself; and of them there were none with him to take a part: but that they should endure sufferings in some sort like to his for his sake as they both afterwards did; (See Gill on Matthew 20:23).

Marcos 10:39 In-Context

37 Responderam-lhe: Concede-nos que na tua glória nos sentemos, um � tua direita, e outro � tua esquerda.

38 Mas Jesus lhes disse: Não sabeis o que pedis; podeis beber o cálice que eu bebo, e ser batizados no batismo em que eu sou batizado?

39 E lhe responderam: Podemos. Mas Jesus lhes disse: O cálice que eu bebo, haveis de bebê-lo, e no batismo em que eu sou batizado, haveis de ser batizados;

40 mas o sentar-se � minha direita, ou � minha esquerda, não me pertence concedê-lo; mas isso é para aqueles a quem está reservado.

41 E ouvindo isso os dez, começaram a indignar-se contra Tiago e João.
