This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Luk 12:50. Βάπτισμα δε) But a baptism, and that too a baptism completely consummated, must precede the fire, and the kindling of it.-ἔχω βαπτισθῆναι) Comp. Mar 10:38.-πῶς συνέχομαι, how am I straitened [severely pressed]) Joh 12:27 [“Now is My soul troubled,” etc.]; Mat 26:37. The nearer His passion approached, the greater were the emotions by which He was affected. The preceding formula, What will I? indicates the mere will and inclination by itself; but the words, How am I straitened (with which comp. Php 1:23; 2Co 5:14), implies the will struggling forth through opposing objects and obstructions.-τελεσθῇ, it shall have been accomplished [finished, consummated]) Comp. Joh 19:30 [τετέλεσται, It is finished or consummated].
