Luke 12:50

New English Translation

⁵⁰I have a baptism^[a] to undergo,^[b] and how distressed I am until it is finished!

Luke 12:50 sn The figure of the baptism is variously interpreted, as some see a reference (1) to martyrdom or (2) to inundation with God’s judgment. The OT background, however, suggests the latter sense: Jesus is about to be uniquely inundated with God’s judgment as he is rejected, persecuted, and killed (Pss 18:4, 16; 42:7; 69:1-2; Isa 8:7-8; 30:27-28; Jonah 2:3-6).
Luke 12:50 tn Grk “to be baptized with.”
