Bible Question: KJV...why is being baptized ommitted in other versions?...And he saith unto them,Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with:but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give,but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father...this verse shows me that there is something that the deciples were going to recieve that the Lord had...and I do not think he was speaking of water baptism as this had already been done...and if it is as I am thinking then it would be speaking of the Spiritual Baptism,like in 1Cor 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body...For Jesus and the Father And the Spirit were all in one Body...God Bless |
Bible Answer: Any majority/received text Bible translation (kjv, nkjv, litv, web, mkjv) will say "baptized" here, not just the KJV. The parallel scripture found in Mark 10 will be in all Bibles, regardless of translations. I don't think that the "baptized with" here is referring to spiritual baptism into the body of Christ as in your 1Co12:13 reference. I think "baptized with" and "drink the cup" are referring to the same thing, which is persecution and suffering. Jesus tells them that they don't really know what they were asking for and indicated he was not talking about something pleasant. To "drink of a cup" almost always refers to a cup of suffering in scripture (Psa73:10, Psa75:8, Isa51:17, Isa51:22, Jer25:15, Mat26:39, Rev16:9). retxar |
