But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?" - Mark 10:38“Jesus calls His death a baptism because of the ease with which He would rise again. For just as one who is baptized in water easily rises up because of the nature of the water poses no hindrance, so, too, Christ rose with greater ease because he had gone down into death. And this is why He calls His death a baptism.” – John Chrysostom
