Mark 14:52

52 but he got away, running off naked, leaving them holding the sheet.

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 All the disciples cut and ran.

51 A young man was following along. All he had on was a bedsheet. Some of the men grabbed him

52 but he got away, running off naked, leaving them holding the sheet.

53 They led Jesus to the Chief Priest, where the high priests, religious leaders, and scholars had gathered together.

54 Peter followed at a safe distance until they got to the Chief Priest's courtyard, where he mingled with the servants and warmed himself at the fire.
