RT Article T1 Mark 10:38-39: Was Jesus's Challenge 'Drinking the Cup and Becoming Drunk'7? Extended Senses of Baptizo in the NT JF The Evangelical quarterly VO 90 IS 3 SP 246 OP 263 A1 Keshet, Hanoch Ben LA English PB Brill YR 2019 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1679292617 AB Use of baptizo and baptisma in Mark 10:38-39 to signify 'destined suffering' has puzzled many exegetes. It appears, however, that baptizd bore a contemporary extended sense of intoxicate that provides a reasonable solution. Jesus's original Semitic saying behind Mark 10:38-39 may have challenged James and John with drinking the cup and being drunken, employing two Semitic metaphors to signify a horrific ordeal. This article reviews evidence that supports use of baptizd for intoxication. The article also reviews Eckhard Schnabel's proposed lexical entry for defining extended senses of baptizd, including drunkenness, and his call to translate baptizd in the NT and not merely to transliterate it as 'baptize'.
