The passage starts with the disciples talking about a group of people doing the same work that they are called to. The same work that Jesus is doing. The kind of work that brings freedom to all. They say to Jesus in their whiniest voices, โ€œTeacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.โ€ This is so great. The author is intentionally poking fun at the disciples here because in the previous chapter he mentions that the disciples were not able to perform this exact task. I wonโ€™t spend any time talking about this little nugget, but you can see the irony of them rebuking these prophets that are not following the disciples.

The bad news is that Jesus then gives an example of a different kind of baptism. He starts by talking about a baptism of immersionโ€ฆ the kind of immersion via millstone. The kind of baptism that leads to suffering: our own and the suffering of those around us. He goes on to talk about a baptism of fire. A baptism of immersion of Hell on earth. A baptism of unquenchable fire. Powerful and extreme and provocative language. Offensive language that is meant to shock and repel.
