This discourse presents who Jesus is and Jesus's call to discipleship in analogy to the baptismal ritual, shown in the Markan narrator's description of Jesus's baptism (Mark 1:9–11), figurative reference to baptism (Mark 10:38–39), as well as figural representations of baptism in the narrative structure of the Gospel.	cache/5138jd50452.txt	txt/5138jd50452.txt
