Exegesis
Each infinitive is associated with a neuter object—poterion {ποτήριον | po-tḗ-ri-on} ‘cup’ and baptisma {βάπτισμα | báp-ti-sma} ‘baptism’—further defined by a relative clause with ho {ὃ | hō} and the emphatic pronoun ego {ἐγὼ | egṓ} ‘I,’ so the syntax stresses participation in the very experience Jesus Himself is undergoing.

But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
