1 Corinthians 10:2

10:2 baptised (d-4) The middle form of the verb, which has a reflexive force. It is when an act returns back in its effect on oneself. see Note e, Hebrews 1:3 . Paul was to act thus in Acts 22:16 ; not to baptise himself, that would be active; but ‘get baptised.’ They passed through the sea and so got baptised. There was no action of course of a baptiser here, hence the middle voice.
