Mark 10:38 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Ye know not what ye ask — Ye know not that ye ask for sufferings, which must needs pave the way to glory. The cup — Of inward; the baptism — Of outward sufferings. Our Lord was filled with sufferings within, and covered with them without.

Mark 10:38

38 But Jesus said unto them,Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
