Mark 14:52

52 but he left the linen cloth behind and ran away naked.

Mark 14:52 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:52

And he left the linen cloth
"In their hands", so the Persic version renders it; just as Joseph left his garment in the hands of his mistress, ( Genesis 39:12 ) ;

and fled from them naked;
to the house from whence he came. The Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, leave out the words "from them".

Mark 14:52 In-Context

50 And all his disciples left him and ran away.

51 One young man, a disciple, was wearing nothing but a linen cloth. They grabbed him,

52 but he left the linen cloth behind and ran away naked.

53 They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and legal experts gathered.

54 Peter followed him from a distance, right into the high priest's courtyard. He was sitting with the guards, warming himself by the fire.
