Mark 10:37-39
They replied, “Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.” “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said. “Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?” “We can,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with

Any ideas about what "baptism" Jesus was talking about here? It wasn't water baptism, because he had already been baptized by John the Baptist at the start of his minstry.

That's irrelevant to the discussion. He was not commanding them to be baptized.

I think it is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

"That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, AFTER the baptism which John preached (water): How GOd anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him." Acts 10:37,38).

"And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord:" Isaiah 11:2.

And then came Acts Chapter 2. And they were indeed baptized with the baptism He was baptized with.
