Mk 10:38c ... "Or the baptism which I am baptized, you will be baptized?"

The third sentence has two phrases and these 7 dialog words, ... hē to baptisma ho egō baptizomai baptisthēnai (Or the baptism which I am baptized, you will be baptized)?

The 7 dialog words are top down from the hands of Jesus ending in the image of a dead baptized disciple. The 3 words "egō baptizomai baptisthēnai" (I am baptized with, you will be baptized) are tangent to the "sign of death" and the body of the dead disciple. Jesus is asking if John and James can also baptize themselves into the sign of death as the price they may have to pay to sit in the left and right of his glory.
