38. After being largely ignored in the scholarly literature, and then examined only in terms of historical-critical questions, this logion has in recent years begun to be the subject of theological consideration. See J. Daryl Charles, '"The Coming One"/"Stronger One" and His Baptism: Matt 3:11-12, Mark 1:8, Luke 3:16-17', Pneuma 11 (1989), pp. 37-49

42. And this is the typical mistake that is made in both the exegetical and systematic discussions of this metaphor. See, for example, Morna Hooker, The Gospel according to Saint Mark (London: A. & C. Black, 1991) p. 38, who represents a signal advance over most commentators in that she draws attention to the parallels Mark assumes between Jesus' baptism and that of those who follow Jesus such as is narrated in Acts 2. Nevertheless she fails to consider the fact that the salvation that Jesus is said to bring, the 'baptism in the Holy Spirit', is precisely that which he himself undergoes
