Commentary

But . . . a baptism, &c.--clearly, His own bloody baptism, first to take place. how . . . straitened--not, "how do I long for its accomplishment," as many understand it, thus making it but a repetition of Luk 12:49; but "what a pressure of spirit is upon Me." till it be accomplished--till it be over. Before a promiscuous audience, such obscure language was fit on a theme like this; but oh, what surges of mysterious emotion in the view of what was now so near at hand does it reveal!
