Mark 14:52

52 but he left the linen cloth, and fled from them 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 They all left him, and fled.

51 A certain young man followed with him, having a linen cloth thrown around him, over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,

52 but he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

53 They led Yeshua away to the Kohen Gadol. All the chief Kohanim, the Zakenim, and the Sofrim came together with him.

54 Kefa had followed him afar off, until he came into the court of the Kohen Gadol. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.
