Art/Literary - Religion / bautismo | | English term or phrase: represent my reader's opinion | Matt. 20:22-23, Luke 12:50.
Our Lord, in these affecting and impressive passages, is referring to the greatness of his approaching sufferings, and, by a metaphor, he call them "a Baptism". Does sprinkling a little water on the face, or being totally immersed and overwhelmed in a large quantity, most appropriately exhibit an image of the severity of the sufferings of Christ? The following extracts will, I have no doubt, ***represent my reader's opinion***.

| | reflejarán la opinión mis lectores | Explanation:
